The a/c in my 73 2.0 does not work. It needs several things including a compressor. Are there more efficient new ones out there that are bolt on or have new mounts? I plan to convert to R134. I was thinking of taking the old lines and getting new ones made locally.
I know most of you will say you don't need a/c, take the top off. But my better half who helped me buy the car likes a/c so that is not an option. So any advise and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

Betty's car has a DPD system that was converted to R134a. It was easy. I bought the compressor kit from IceAC. It is literally a bolt on setup. I then took the hoses off and had them remade with barrier hose at a local AC shop. Bought a new dryer and o-rings, and hooked it all up. This was 5 years ago. I had to do a top off of the refrigerant for the first time this spring. It will cool you down with no problem on a 100 degree Texas day.
Good luck on the AC. It makes a 914 a true daily driver. |
