Re: SkinnyG's '61 Apache

Charged the AC with one can of oil, and what was left of a can of R12a. Haven't checked pressure since. Need to source a low pressure switch. My AC kit(s) came with a trinary switch, which serves as a high and low pressure switch, AND can turn on a fan. The PCM seems to want a HP input and a LP input, and allegedly can control a fan itself. I think it might be better to feed it what it wants.

I started wrapping the down pipe in header wrap, but truthfully I need a whole lot more than the 15' that came with the turbo blanket. On 4" sewer pipe with 1/4" overlap, that only covers about 26" of pipe, and I need a whole lot more than that.

Also mounted the Meth tank and pump and plumbed the nozzle.
