A/C

[Ken Hayes]

When we bought the car there was no belt on the A/C compressor. I figured, hell with 2 windows down and 60mph we don't need no stinkin A/C. Well this year we said screw it.......I installed all new belts and clicked on the air to Max. Heard the compressor click on but it wasn't really that cold comin out.

Found a friend with some R12 and got 3 cans from him. The POA valve was getting nice and cold and then stopped. Long story short, put in all 3 cans and still the same. Friend came over and looked around, stuck his hand through the hood hinge and grabbed the big nut on the POA.....LOOSE !! So 3 cans shot into the air for nothing. Tightened the nut and said screw it.

Today I got 3 more cans from the same guy. Put 1 can in and the POA was getting frosty.........good deal......I thought.........still about the same inside the car. Turned off the car and Judy said.....whats that hissin noise? Seems the high pressure hose that goes from the box on the firewall back to the condenser has a crack right near the fitting. Found a brand new hose on ebay from Old Air for $46.50...........hope this does it.
