Ebay sellers have shipped it to me a couple times. You swear in writing that it will be installed Only By a Certified Tech or if you are a Tech then just supply your Tech ID Number.

I am fiddling with the duster /C recharge. I am going to flush, replace the o-rings, pull down, and recharge the system in the 87 T this weekend.

Been trying to order some R-12 on E-bay. Easily the most frustrating god dam experience in quite a while. You need to message the signed statement before paying, but you cant attach anything to the message other than a photo. I'm not good with computers but come on, should it be this fucking tricky or am I just that stupid   :013: :013: :013: :068: :068:

Speaking of R-12.....


My AC has never been working since I've owned the car (7yrs).
Would like to get my AC working this summer....I've got a few (4cans) of R-12 stashed away & would like to use them. Have purchased a new orrifice tube & accumulator / dryer. I"ve got a few compressor seals as well. I know it is going to need to hold vacuum for a few hours first. Not sure what else I may need?


Does anyone know of an AC centre in Toronto / GTA that can do this with the R-12 I am providing?  Send me a PM if you'd like to keep this under the radar (so to speak).


thx


dave

Give Frank a call at Precise Auto Electric 35-37 Clarkson Ave 416 782-9889 just north of Eglington & Caledonia. I used to do a lot of business with him years back but last time I saw him was for the New Emissions Test. Good guy that is been into the game for many years!!
Mention Dave with the 87 GN to jog his memory.
