I am gathering parts for my 67 and part of the plan is to use the stock AC.
Is it still best to plan for 134a conversion? I know you can get R12 but it’s pricy and dont want to limit myself in the future should it
become more unavailable.
I’ve heard that one should get the biggest parallel flow condenser available. Asking on the OCS there were many recommendations on this. I suspect the physical limitations of size is the opening in the core support and the recess in front of the core support that the condenser sits in. I’ll have to measure those when I get home from work but with the car completely blown apart I don’t want to buy a big condenser and later on find out it interferes with a bracket or do-hickey and now it’s too late to return it.
Anyone who has a 67 with factory air, can you measure approximately how much wider and taller one could go with the condenser? This might be something I put on the back burner until the car is more put together. I know Orignal Air has a condenser that fits without
Modification but not sure how much of an upgrade it is size wise.
Likewise I’m going to hold off on a compressor but I think I saved my A6 unit. Is there any reason to keep this thing? I’m not going for a nut and bolt restoration.
