    Changed out Compressor.... followed instructions (no cold air)

    I will.... alas where do I find the tube; before the accumulator? The Chilton book mentions a flare nut, but what I see, is a flared fitting on the line, with some sort of plastic keeper/clamp holding it in place

    No metal in the system to my knowledge, when I vacuumed it out, it held for over an hour, no change

    Changed out Compressor.... followed instructions (no cold air)

    Basically there’s about 15 oz of refrigerant in the system.... if I need to take stuff back apart, I don’t want to add any more. Unless that’s advisable... I didn’t change the orfice filter out... as the one that came in the “kit” looked small... I think... I can change it though

    Changed out Compressor.... followed instructions (no cold air)

    I have the gauges... I will check tomorrow, and then let you know, if that’s cool... after being under the hood, yesterday and this morning, I’m done for now. Heat doesn’t bother me, but My Wife, wanted Me for other things. Thank You for Helping Gary!

    Changed out Compressor.... followed instructions (no cold air)

    I switched from the manifold gauge set, to just the little set up from the can: AC pro... For lack of better words, and knowledge, it seems “vapor locked”... if that makes sense. Of course the gauge on the AC pro, shows it drifting passed the”Green charged”... I don’t want to over charge

    Changed out Compressor.... followed instructions (no cold air)

    No charge on the system; changed out the compressor, the accumulator, all the o-rings; vacuumed it out, held vacuum for an hour, replaced the Freon, (not the full amount); a/c clutch engages, shows charged on gauge... Hot air only....
