Sooooo I am going to skip on the hood scoop. If, God forbid, this thing ends on its side it will become a different kind of vehile and thats when I will ge that hood scoop into play!

Got some stuff headed over from Vintage Air and I hope that it will bring me success with my AC delema.

Scrapdaddy, I was talking with, I think, Jason over at VA and he told me that the Denso/stock LS compressor does not work well with the aftermarket kits. I remember you mentioning that you were not as happy as you wanted tobe. Maybe it has to do with your compressor. You probably already know about it though.

Getting a little work done tho while I wait for the AC parts.

I am running a steering box cooler. Should I have it on the box to remote reservoir line or the reservoir to pump line? Right now it seems easier, with the lay of the lines, that i have it on the box to the reservoir line.

Thanks, I didn't know that and it might be something I look into. I'm really not happy with the Restomod/Classic Auto Air a/c because they've abandoned my model and don't have any parts for it. I'll have to upgrade to the tune of @ $600 in order to fix mine.

Did you have the Vapir IIS?
Jason mentioned that all aftermarket kits did not respond well to the Denso.

Not sure its right, but I have the return from the hydro and the return from the box on a T and right out of the T it goes to my cooler, then returns the cool earl to the reservoir.

 

[xtiaan2000]

I didnt need the T because the reservoir had an extra port, but tht makes sense to have both breaks and the steering go through the cooler.

Did you have the Vapir IIS?

Yes, the Vapir ll.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Cool

I think I might be done with that. Unless my betters see something that is amiss. Please tell if you do!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could have painted the fender well first.

Otherwise it looks stellar!

 

[xtiaan2000]

Plant to tear all this apart after I drive it to see if anything I did has been right! Then onto paint and sexifying that beautiful tin!

I got plans, just way out!

Anyone know what this is all about?

 

[scrapdaddy]

Vacuum port, I believe.

see something that is amiss

Those look like push-lok fittings you used on the returns. You don't want to use hose clamps on them, you'll actually create an issue that you wouldn't normally have without them.

 

[xtiaan2000]

So just run w no hose clamps on those? Just be content w pushing them on?

 

[xtiaan2000]

None on these?

Back to the Basics: Push-Lock Fittings

These pneumatic and hydraulic fittings are durable and reliable, but can be difficult to install.

I would cut the end back and start over without the clamps.

 

[xtiaan2000]

Copy that.
I am wondering why they gave me all those hose clamps?

The push-lok fitting/hose system is a proven setup up to the 350 psi or so limitations, when you use a worm gear style clamp on the outside of the hose you’ll cause the fitting to cut into the hose and create a failure point.

I’m not pretending to know more than the guys that sold you that setup just offering some friendly advice.

Yo, I am all about friendly advise.
