*ANYBODY, PLEASE TELL ME WHO DOES A GOOD JOB REBUILDING THE A/C & CLUTCH* - be it a company, or a person with good reputation (like crackedback headlight relay harness) I am at my wit's end. I ended up calling Classic Auto Air (Original Air Group), and asked the rep whether they sell already...

I did try to fix my original 8 track, and it worked for a while. Bought the replacement parts needed, asked my uncle for help with the capacitors etc. However the results were sub-par, and eventualy the sound got lower, and lower, till nothing happened anymore. Bought a great looking, non...

I feel you Michael! Worst thing is dealing with customs red tape & general BS... Are you coming to the Mopar Nationals on Aug 5th in Marl? I have this crazy idea to go 1800km to Germany, without knowing anybody, and without knowing the place!

Well he also said he cleaned everything up as best as he could, and put good oil in it. Maybe I deserve a bit of scolding, but when your options are severely limited, you tend to want to believe the seller's description.

Thanks a bunch, that is actualy my doing :) unfortunately, the clutch gave way (cable snapped at the base), changed it with a spare I had, which turned white after half an hour, trying to turn the almost seizing ebay rv2 which was supposed to be rebuilt. Have to find a good source for a compressor

I have just about had it with shoddy parts, my THIRD compressor gave up the ghost. My mechanic warned me before the install that he found rust everywhere inside, and the oil was shot. I bought this one off of ebay, total cost with importing to Europe a little under $1000. I think it was not...

Is this a better solution till I get the proper valve? It would be wrapped in tape or something to further insulate

I am by no means an expert on A/C, as seen by my mixup above. What would be the best course of action using the expansion valve that I already have? Put as much as it fits of the coiled tube inside the factory space on the hard line? Coil it around the pipe and insulate? Leave it as is...

Thanks for the wealth of info! Right now the system really works as is, even without the thermostatic electric switch for the compressor, and the wrong valve. Could it be that the wrong expansion valve is meant not to have the coiled part of the tube inside the factory jacket, but is meant to be...

I think it was classicindustries...

I wanted to have only factory stuff, so the expansion valve was "factory replacement". Only deviation from factory right now is the r134 instead of r12, and compatible seals/hoses/oil. I must admit I am at a loss - can anybody give me a definitive answer on where does the coiled tube go?

Bob, so what you are saying is that both tubes must be touching the same section of the metal pipe?

Here you go. Tried to have it seen as best as possible, but still it's all like a ball of yarn... SO the tube that comes from the diaphragm thingy toward the front, that one is capped off, and tucked away (the one I was trying to hold in my hand). The other tube that comes off the side of the...

Replacing factory stuff with something from the aftermarket sure does simplify things, but for me it's important to keep everything as it came out on May 19th 1968. Can anybody tell me how do I proceed with the electric thermostat switch? This is what I got: Google Image Result for...

Thank you so much for the help, and the link. Hopefully it will arrive in Europe next week, and I will let everybody know how it goes.

I searched the forum (heck, the whole internet) for a guide on how to convert the factory R12 A/C to R134a, but only got the general bit. I had a wonderfuly working R12 setup (I think I got the last R12 canister in Europe), but after I changed the radiator, the person who did it turned the A/C...
