TCSTARK, are you happy with the Vintage A/C setup? I am restoring a 66 LV and need an A/C option.

X2... How's it keeping up with the heat and humidity?
The AC unit is giving me some issues right now. There is a solenoid the continually turns the system on and off when I am in 3rd or 4th gear. I may have a leak near the condensor unit or improper pressure in the system. Once I work out those kinks I will achieve constant cold air.
The unit blows ice cold in the beginning so I anticipate it being solid once I get it figured out.
I would have recommended to replace the rear axle seals while you were in there. If they're close to worn out you might be back in there again replacing them in the not too distant future.
Are you talking about those black circular things I found in the box Poser sent me. HA! I found them yesterday and went ahead and installed them. I fully appreciate my new found knowledge of rear differentials and spiders gears but I'll pass on doing again so soon.
Thanks for looking out for me!
Here is a classic photo. My daughter found my TLCA stickers and proceeded to go out to the garage and put it on her Jamming Heep. Barbie may have owned a j**p but Ken probably owned a FJ40.
educated guess, but faulty high pressure switch, possibly. I assume this is while you are cruising in 3rd and 4th.

What gave it away? ...The part where he said "when I am in 3rd or 4th gear?"

I used to have a faulty high pressure switch on a car. I knew it was the switch and not the compressor/system, so I just jumped it with a piece of 18 guage wire.![]()
