Hello everyone
I have a 79 Monte that has a AC compressor that is
locked up. Im not new to cars but i havent done AC before. I want to
put a used compressor on and replace the orifice tube and replace some
0-rings in the fittings Can the old dryer\ac***ulator be used again.
Should i blow out the condensor incase there is junk in there and how
should i clean this. I have never recharged one before so i may have
some one do this for me on less it isnt that hard. I have added freon
to ac's but not much expierience at that. Can someone give me tips on
this and talk me through it. Thanks in advance

How much R-12 would you like? I have over 120 pounds on hand and can
buy more anytime I want. You DO have to get certified to buy it but that
takes about 20 minutes online and a weeks wait for your card. Current
pricing runs about 34.00 a pound. As for cleaning the system, disconnect
ALL fittings while you have it apart and flush them with alcohol, then
blow them out with clean, DRY air, I would replace the drier,
compressor, and orifice tube and ALL o-rings. Then pull a vacuum on it
and let it set with the vacuum in it as long as you can to make sure it
doesn't leak down. Then recharge it. You could do all the hard work as
far as the cleaning and repairs and then once the system is closed back
up take it to a shop to have them pull the vacuum and recharge it as
well.

Hi,

Last summer I bought two cans of FREEZE 12 from a guy on Ebay,
cost me $35 I think. It came with oil, adapter for the fitting, hose,
everything I needed to put the stuff in, and the only way I can describe
it is to say its friggin cold air. It worked all year and I didn't have
to
change any seals or such. You may want this instead of R 134.

NoSpam

I don't want any R12, all of my vehicles are 1994 to 2002. But it's not
available to the average guy or worth his while to fix one older vehicle.
He'd be better off to find someone like you and pay you to charge it. And
unless the average guy can buy small cans he won't have the equipment to
charge the system either.

If you are inexperienced, Don't do anything!

Since there is safety issues handling Freon R-12, take the car to a
qualified technician.

In case that you live close to Mexico, it is posible to buy it in small
cans, I have seen Dupont Freon 12 for about US $8 a can in Autozone stores
(located in Mexico).

What is the 94? There are a lot of 94 GMs with R-12 in them. Most of the
trucks for one.
The small cans are still available also you just need to have a
certificate to get it. That tag is not hard to get.
http://www.epatest.com/ Will do the job. You need section 609 for
vehicles. Will cost you 20 bucks and is open book to boot.
Not hard at all. I took mine through a local outfit but this looks like
the same test.

Steve W.

Just had to ask.. The wifes S series is CFC-12. I know of a few people
who complain when they get a bill for R-12 and start complaining that
the vehicle was a 94 and "they know" it should take 134A. Makes me
wonder why I ever decided to work under the hood sometimes......

charge

There has been a failure to mention the hoses. Barrier or non-Barrier.
If R-134 to be used, the hoses should be replaced with Barrier type and non
R12 o-rings.
