Why do I bother???? Group: Members Posts: 633 Joined: 8-September 03 From: Madison, MS Member No.: 1,123 |
Ok, the new car has air. It looks like all that is missing is the compressor. I think these had VPD and DPD A/C units. How do I figure out what compressor I need? Can I convert this to 134a?
Basically every question you would expect! Thanks, Matt |

The antique HOT ROD crowd has a number of vendors that use all new components. A bit pricey for the hardware but uses the modern gas, barrier hoses and low power compressors....check out a magazine raack near you.
The old style ones, leak gas...that stuff is pricey, robs power due to old crappy compressors that weren't that good when new and clunky fittings and bad installs by the parking lot geeks employed by the dealer... |
