  1. That new compound may say DOT...but it is intended for track use only. They have a drag racing class based around the 275/60r15 "DOT" and those tires are produced to be the closest thing to a slick and still fit within the rules. Not recommended for street use. The "old style" would be better suited for street use, but still wouldn't want to be caught in the rain with them lol

  2. Check with Dan's 70 z20...he had his rebuilt to handle 134 by a company in Florida...I'm sure there are others out there as well as updated non-original looking ones

  3. The original systems use a POA valve, not an orifice tube. Same function, but much bigger and bulkier. If you look buy the a/c box in the engine compartment, you will see a rectangle block with 2 lines, and has what looks like a disc on top. There is also a capilary tube that is wrapped around one of the tubes and secured with a sticky rubbery mess...I'm sure there is a name for it..but I have no idea lol

  4. In my dreams.......There is no way I can leave the Beach during July and August.

  5. From what I understand, there is a company in Florida that re-works the POA valve to work with the r134a. Get in touch with Dan ...i want to say his screen name here is Dans 70 z20...he is going through the set up now on his restoration

    Mine is all original and there was nothing but some body color and trunk paint over spray. So my answer is a thin coat of surface rust lol

     

    I've got plenty of surface rust, guess i don't have to order the paint..woohoo lol
