tom what wouldnyou like for them. has anyone used the aftermarket metal ones?
-
ok got the remote mirror to replace my pitted mirror. it looks very good, a decent repo.
the hood insulation looks good but i really dont remember how the original looked. it did mot come with metal clips.
what should the metal clips look like

i know that r134 runs at higher pressure especially on the high side. the condenser is different to give more surface area to better help with heat exchange. I know at one time it was said the ruber lines would leak because the molecules are smaller for 134. I have changed over a lot of cars in then 90s but always felt that r12 cooled better. now with a little more knowledge i think with the right condensor and metering system it might be possible that 134 is the same or better

I restored my Air Conditioning over the winter and converted it to R-134. I used the ORIGINAL condenser and evaporator but I removed them from the car, drained the oil from them and fully flushed them out with Denatured Alcohol. I sent my compressor to Original Air Products in Texas and had it rebuilt for R134. I also ordered all new rubber "barrier" lines that are recommended for use with the 134. I also ordered new expansion valve, drier/receiver and POA Valve. I ordered all of my parts from Original Air Products.
I really enjoyed having my Air Conditioning this past summer. On Sunday or this week it was 90 here in Pittsburgh and I headed out to a car cruise, AC blasting the whole way.

Rob do you notice the difference between the r12 and theb134 refrigerant?
-
they make the labels andni believe you can get the numbers to match. the label gives you the date code which some like for restorstion purpose
-
not sure what they are worth but most are rebuildable even seized. is the sticker still on it.
-
first step is make sure to flush the system. all your old oil and metals are floating in there. I like to break the lines apart and use a siphon blow gun to blow the alcohol through. dont do this with your valves in place. keep us posted

i just ordered the mirror from ss396 they are pricey but had them. i ordered the hood insulation from soffseal, it comes with clips and she believes they are metal clips
-
i called Auslleys about the mirtor and they claim the chevelle mirror is different and they dont have the correct one for the monte.
-
good deal. what do the clips look like. my insulation and clips are gone. i see metal square ones but i kind of remember them looking like an H
-
how about hood insulation. who make a great reproduction with clips
-
ok thanks ill be ordering one this week
-
Just got the 70 out of paint and i just cant put that pitted mirror on. what are the options for NOS or a copy. this one is pitted so i dont think i can do anything with it
-
it does sound like a spark issue. idles ok then misses on load.
-
at idle does it smell rich or normal. when you say runs like crap what do tou mean. does it lack power and miss. does it pop our of the carburetor.
do you have stock exhaust manifold or headers
-
what disteibutor do you have, is it points or has it been changed to hei

Might have a miss. you can pull plug wires while i tr s running to see if the idle drops. if it does not then you have a weak cylinder or spark. be careful you dont become the ignitions ground.

I hope to have a very nice show driver. James i agree epoxy is durable, i was just shocked with the powder coat cost. I looked into the price because they do the sand blasting also.
-
i just got prices for powder coating the frame and it runs $750 to $1500. the guy who said $1500 sounds like he has done a few and knew the factory color. if i epoxy it myself it will add up to $500 that includes sand blasting. i am not sure which way i want to toss this potatoe
