So I took the system apart again and cleaned the quick disconnect valve and flushed the evaporator and replaced the expansion valve again. I opened the service valves 1/2 way so all the shop has to do is evacuate the system and charge it. The problem is that the system just will not take up the...

Sorry. R134a, lol.

Boy, that's a good point. That's why I posted the pictures. He was from a different store so I will try to track him down next week and ask. Thanks!

Thanks!

Does anyone know the purpose of the plastic cap on top of the expansion valve, and is it important?

Thanks Steve!

Hi Chuck. I'd say it was about 78 to 80 degrees inside the shop with the doors open and the fans running. Again, I was at an Express Oil change. The guy working on the car was young, maybe in his 30s, and marginally familiar with old cars. He ran the machine for about 15 minutes after the system...

Hi all. I have limited knowledge of the A/C system. I'm working on a 72 system. I replaced the expansion valve, compressor, dryer, and condenser. I blew through the evaporator with compressed air but did not flush it. I did this about three months ago but I can't remember if the air came through...

I just saw this post. That was an incredible deal!

What in the world were they thinking? They must have loved green, lol. I have a 73 loaded Q code vert that was painted the most beautiful special paint. It's a metallic "raspberry looking" color. The prior owner called it purple, but it's really more a magenta metallic color.

Very nice car! Welcome from Birmingham, AL.

Correct Greg. They all had the chrome mirror on the left and nothing on the right. I can only wonder what color this car would have been with avacado interior. Maybe they used 1972 Bight Lime. Who knows?

Notice whoever did the color change was smart enough to keep the front bumpers and rear bumper fillers argent silver. Does anyone know the exact color used to paint these parts? I'm thinking it could have been argent silver or the "light pewter color" that was available in 1973.

Just my Grabber Blue car was there,HeavyCoupe. I don't have a trailer and can only drive one. If something like this ever happens again close by, maybe I can get some forum members to drive some of my other cars to the show.

Thanks Brian. Your car was spectacular! I actually had my Grabber Blue car there Friday and Saturday as a "display" car. I moved it around a lot so you may have missed it. Three of my other cars are on display at the "Mustang Museum of America" in Odenville which is only about 20 minutes from...

Congratulations Brian!

Geese. I just saw this. I need to go to the site more often. I never got a notification of this post. Can someone tell me how to tell if my “notifications “ are on?

Unfortunately I just saw this post and the show is over now. I wish so much that I would have thought to make the connection between the show and the forum then meet as many members as I could while I was there. I went but feel like I only experienced 20% of what I could have experienced if I...
