Lots of recent maintenance and more parts that come with.

some...
still trouble shooting... with the truck at idle and the switch depressed to "on" I get no reading when I touch a voltmeter to the solder joints on the back of the switch. Fuse is good... bad switch?
some progress... 12v straight to the compressor kicked it on, it took some more 134 and got cold. But it wont cycle on without that 12v... so I’m thinking that leads to a faulty amplifier. Is there a way to troubleshoot that thing or do I just need a new one?
high side is still around 50... for the few moments that it did kick on during the initial fill of r134 the high side never went very high but the low side was dropping as the engine revved. But at some point while I continued to fill it stopped working and now I can't get it to kick on even...
Im going by approximation... 55mph on the speedo should be mid 60s and although I could floor it and go faster, it already sounds like the space shuttle at liftoff
yes it was r12 before, but I replaced everything that touches the coolant... compressor, condenser, drier, expansion valve, hoses and seals, so there shouldn’t be any residual r12 anywhere in the system. How do I know when I’ve charged too much? What low side pressure should I look for?
I've replaced all the components to my 85 60's AC system including hoses and seals. Put a vaccum for 30+ min on the system to pull air and moisture. Refilled about 1/2 capacity with refrigerant, started truck, held the revs to 1300 or so and the compressor engaged and the pressure gauges began...
not really sure what I can hold onto... holding the lower shock body doesnt prevent the shaft from spinning and there is a plastic protector on the upper part and nothing to get a firm grip on. Should I remove or cut the plastic protector?
looking for suggestions... my ome fronts came with a nylon locking nut that is so hard to tighten that I’m about to start over with non locking nuts. I’ve got a 8mm wrench on the flats and a 19 ratchet on the nut and I am pulling so hard that it’s starting to round off the flats and I havent...
