Air Condition Conversion
UPDATE -
January 2016, No conversions needed, put
Duracool 12A in, most cases cheaper than 134A which is never
as cold as R12, and Duracool 12A is often colder.
Compressors are still very reasonable to get rebuilt.
I had converted my York
Compressor to used 134A Freon . All went well , but it wasn't
cold enough . So as I work in auto parts business . I started
looking around for a conversion kit or something at I could
use . Remember the York well Ford Mustang used it also guess
what . Factory Air sell a adaptor plate that will mount on
that old York mounting plate needs to be modified comes with a
mounting plate for a Idler need to remove this I used a cut
off wheel then drilled 4 holes into the new mounting
plate to attaches to your York plate. Know I can use rotor
compressor . I used Sanyo $30.00 at pick and pull .
Make sure you get one that has V belt pulley. You need to cut
off you original fitting and install fitting for Sanyo
Compress . There available at most air-condition shops, or
they can get them for you . Cost for the adaptors fitting was
less than $15.00 . The factory Air adaptor cost $55.00 from
AutoZone . So for around $100.00 you got modern system .
I also added a relay that is connected to battery for high speed blower operation. This gives you almost double the out put of air on high speed. I use the relay form 1970
Old 88 to wire
it for this operation .
