    Evaporator issues

    With 134a you need a little more condenser to cool your high side and store the condensed high side liquid. That's the problem with the older F12 conversions to 134a. Good luck.

    Hey get a set of H-4 bulb holders and then a set of H-4 bulbs that are 100 watt high and 45 watt low. The harness will handle it and you can see a mile. Just dim them when you see head lights coming because they want be able to see when your's are on high. I've been running them for sixteen...

    No front brakes

    In the Ford shop manual it has a diagram of a tool you can make for the adjustment of the mc rod. You can make it out of a piece of sheet metal. And it will make life easier with the mc change.

    Project Little Foot

    On your fuel tanks, if they are rusty or you have to clean out and seal you might be better off to replace with new ones. If you go with new ones get 'Spector' out of Canada,made with US steel. That's what I did, the front tank was full of alge and it was cheaper to replace than clean after ten...

    Correct AC orifice Tubes

    That's the tool HFT I use, always pour a little refigerant oil in there to help loose it up. The o rings will be dry and they will stick, take the needle nose pliers and trun it left and right and it should pull out. Good luck.

    Water Separator - Dumb Question time

    When you pull the ring with the engine off it should drain out the hose at the bottom of the water separater. You probably have muck in it, old water and trash in the bottom at the drain valve. Try a little bit of vucum at the hose as you pull the ring or a little air pressure, not to much to...
