Can anyone tell me where I might find a new a/c condenser for a 1964 T-bird? Classic Aire doesn't
have them anymore.

Re: a/c condenser
What is the issue with your existing condenser?

Re: a/c condenser
Call Originalair.com and see if they can help. I don't see the condenser in their catalog, but when I talked to them last year they said they had "everything". If you have a leak, a radiator shop might be able to repair it, depending on the condition.

Re: a/c condenser
My original condenser looks good on the outside but could still have leaks. A/C has never worked
since I bought the car nine years ago. I bought a Sanden compressor conversion kit recently and
I'm in the process of changing the entire system over to R134a from R12a. I thought it would be good
to replace the a/c condenser as a part of the conversion.

Re: a/c condenser
Condensers, new or used, can be very hard to source. If yours looks good, chances are strong it is good. Like above, take it to a radiator shop for a pressure test. Leaks are uncommon. Unlike a radiator it doesn’t have to be recored. Cosmetic restoration can be done. There’s even a fin comb if some straightening is needed.
A new dryer is what you absolutely need. Don’t take the caps off the ends before final installation; it’s vacuum sealed to keep dry.

Re: a/c condenser
Found a new condenser on E-Bay. Many thanks to those who responded. Also Classic Aire and Original Aire appear to be
the same company.
