Re: A/C clutch repair 1966 tbird

I was thinking of just buying a new 4 seasons clutch for about $150. Any experience with those? It says it is compatible with my car. Would it just be a swap out or are their adjustments necessary? I assume the clutch that I have is the one for the car, but I found it in the trunk with other parts s...

Re: A/C clutch repair 1966 tbird

That makes sense. This is how it came. Any chance of obtaining those pieces? Or is it best to find a new clutch?

A/C clutch repair 1966 tbird

I am replacing the bearing in my a/c clutch. The spindle does not stay on the flat plate snugly. I can get it to fit in the hole, but with light pressure it falls off. I am afraid that when the a/c clutch engages it will free the plate and it will fall off into the engine... The a/c is the last majo...

bumper jack base

IMG_1869.jpg Well thanks to Jim I now have a spare tire nicely tucked in the trunk. But now I discovered that I need the jack base to bolt the tire down. I do have the bolt and the wing nut. I also have the rest of the jack snugly tucked into the wheel well. Anyone have a spare jack base to sell. T...

Re: a/c hose replacement

Re: a/c hose replacement

But the people at classic air say that I need to change the hoses because the stock hoses wont fit the Sanden. There lies my dilemma: how do I get to the hoses without taking out the dash?

I was thinking of the sanden compressor setup. Any experience with that one?

Re: a/c hose replacement

Sorry if this sounds stupid. The a/c has been open to the environment for 5 years. I am replacing the drier, and compressor with new parts. Will there still be residual oil in the system (condensor, hoses or evaporator)? Or can I assume it left with when all the refrigerant leaked out? If not, can I...

a/c hose replacement

I am restoring a 1966 Thunderbird. The a/c compressor and clutch are shot. So I figured i would upgrade the system to R134a. . I bought a new drier canister already. Can I use my current hoses with just a new compressor and clutch? Or should I plan to replace the hoses too? IF so How to I get access...
