Re: 67-72 air conditioning swap?

If you are going with R134 (which is most likely) a parallel flow condensor is key in achieving cold air in all driving conditions/temperatures.

Re: 67-72 air conditioning swap?

Yes sir that condenser is key, electric fans would be even better but haven't got around to it yet. I would even say, as much as I hate to admit it, that it probably works better than it did with r-12. I can probably get some part numbers and pictures up just give me some time.

Is there a place that sells an updated/high efficiency condenser that will fit without mods?

I have one from Classic auto air.. it fits nicely in the original condenser mounting holes. Even so I still had to drill a hole for the upper condenser line. barely visible but painful to do nonetheless.
