Thanks! Got to work on it some more today and figured out part of it.

In any case, I'm about 80% or more done now. It's really a pretty good system, not hard to install. I should be ready to evacuate and charge it by Tuesday.

Feel free to PM me if you run into any questions when you get started.
I’m hoping that I’ll be able to start my install later this week, if the overdrive starts playing nicely…



Attempted to seal up the couple leaks I found today, but not test driving until tomorrow. Also tinkered with the overdrive electricals and found the contact points in the solenoid needed cleaning. Hopefully that does the trick!
