Re: Another AC coolant conversion thread..

It surely won't hurt anything to put an orifice tube in. Sounds like a good idea to me.

I have always tried to charge systems as close to capacity as possible, even the ones that are retrofitted. I actually worked on my instructors 80's Corvette we were retrofitting in college and we filled that to capacity as well.

Sounds good I ordered a 105+ degree one with my accumulator from rockauto today. Now just to track down all that freon at a good price..
