Re: HOW TO DO ? A/C Refrigerant Conversion??? HELP!
D13, I don't own any A/C equiped vehicles anymore, so pics are kind of out of the question. It would take me about a week to write up a step by step "how to do it" manual. The job only takes 3 or 4 hours IF, IF, IF, the evaporator and condenser are ok. The evaporator is a pain to change out. Your throwing the reciever and the hoses in the trash anyway, so all your left with is the flush and changing the oil in the A/C compressor. OH CRAP!!! I forgot to tell Stepside to add about 4 oz of PAG oil to the new reciever before installation in addition to either 4 oz's for the R4 or 6 oz's for the A6 compressors. After that it's just evacuate and charge her up with 134 and enjoy the cold. It all seems easy to me, I did it for 33 years, but even to the novice it's pretty simple IF you take your time and think. If you want some more tid bits of info let me know, jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shot  Jim or Paladin whichever you choose.
