I did pull a vac and recharge it with R-12, lets see how long it keeps working.
I did buy a new compressor/drier/hoses just in case the comp goes. If that happens I will take you up on it, I only have a little AC exp would be glad for any help. The current problem is a completely plug vapor hard line form the vapor separator to the canister. Its steel and I have zero exp making up hard lines. I am thinking about just cutting the old on out then routing some of the nylon stuff thru the rubber guides, zipping it to the existing fuel lines to help route it. OR maybe trying some of that copper/nickel alloy tubing that is supposed to be easy to bend. I did get the fuel lines working (supply and return both 3/8 or 10mm iirc) with some evapo rust/pb blaster and compressed air, but I suspect they are a little be restricted too. So someday I will do them all. I would like to get one of those two post lifts but my garage ceiling is too low, I plan to have a shop when I retire, will do that up right then. I kinda look at this car as my retirement project.
