The story I read years ago was the A/C pump moved less coolant because when the idle solenoid engaged to increase idle speed with the A/C on, engine temp actually dropped below spec at idle with a "standard" flow pump. I'm pretty sure this was an emissions thing from California. That keep the...

Lonnnngggg thread on Moparts about adapting a C class Mercedes fan. It requires a controller to run it. A member there designed one for it. Requires pulse width modulation. If you just plug 12v to it, all the magic smoke comes out. On high it will just about blow the paint off the engine...

Over filling won't cause that unless the overflow was blocked. It would just puke the excess on the ground. 13-16 psi could bulge the tank, depending on the shape and size as well as the gauge of the material. If it isn't leaking yet, lay off the high system pressure cap and it should be...

Vintage air uses Bouchillion to source their compressor brackets. Home - Bouchillon Performance Engineering Kevin

I got mine from Rainbow Products when they used to come to Carlisle. They are a VintageAir distributor. Got a good deal on it too with excellent customer service. The condenser got damaged in shipping. I called them, sent some pics and they shipped a new one right away. Asked if they wanted...

I have a Mk IV in my wagon. It will flat freeze you out. Kevin

I would go with the Aeroquip EZ clip hose system. Extremely user friendly and the hose outside diameter is much smaller than any of the crimp systems so it routes much easier. EZ Clip Product Video Kevin

$850 sounds pretty steep. The VintageAir Mk IV system I put in the wagon was complete for that price. Does it include the conversion fittings for the firewall? Also if they offer Aeroquip EZ Clip hoses and fittings as an option, pay the upcharge. Absolutely foolproof no leaks first time every...

I'm assuming the water valve isn't inside the heater box. Warm it up to operating temp and turn on the defroster. If it fogs the windshield and blows the fragrance of hot Prestone through the car, you're looking at a heater core, again assuming the valve and hoses are external to or not in the...

Make sure when you install them that you lube them generously with the compressor oil so they don't tear when you tighten the fitting down. Kevin

This is the stuff you need for DIY hoses. Click click and it's done. E-Z Clip System for A/C Refrigerant Hoses Kevin

National Moparts lists them as the same. Heater Cores, C Body Kevin

When you say the tank let go, do you mean where the tank solders to the core? If that's all that's wrong and it was cooling OK before, all you need to solve your problem is a propane torch, solder and flux. If you can sweat a joint on copper house plumbing, you can fix this rad. Get a brass...

Doesn't the discharge line from the compressor go through a muffler and then a receiver dryer before it gets to the condenser on an RV2 system? If so, I'd replace the discharge line with the inline muffler that's attached and a new dryer and call it good. I can't see any trash getting past the...

Save yourself a boatload of frustration and use Aeroquip EZ Clip. I put a Mark IV in our wagon and after the third crimp started spewing I gave up and I had use of the genuine crimping tool. I lucked on to an EZ Clip hose kit for $100 that was missing a couple of fittings. Now I just need to...

It's because everything isn't shitty from there. My 493 stroker kit came from there. The crank was checked and needed no correction. The rods weighed what they said to the gram. The big end was correct OOTB. The small end was honed to size for the pins that came with the Ross pistons. My...

My understanding is that an R12 system converted to 134 will deliver the correct operating pressures with less weight of R134 installed. If you installed the R12 spec'd weight it might be slightly overcharged which can affect how the system performs. I don't know what the optimum suction and...

Any chance it was dealer installed A/C ie an under dash Airtemp unit? Kevin

Give Nigel a call at National Moparts. He may have an NOS one. He has a lot of stuff that isn't in the online catalog. The ones he does list are spendy at $500 but that's $Canadian funds so $375ish $US. National Moparts Kevin

Lol. I've got one of their bracket kits on the Poly in my Polara. Instructions used a b-body for reference which was OK until you get to the alternator part and it hits the inner fender when you swing it off their bracket. I had to modify the original alternator bracket so it could live with...
