HI guys, I'll be celebrating my 41st birthday with the family tonight, so I will not be responding to comments until tomorrow most likely. Thanks to everyone that continues to support me and the channel. This community means a lot to me.

Oh wow I remember him helping you Frank, but I didn't know that happened. Guess it's pretty common and yes I'm really enjoying have the A/C right now.

Happy BDay. Your working through problems helped a LOT more people than if it had gone easy. It gave Matt aka Dr. Fox a chance to share how to trouble shoot and that's worth its weight in gold or freon both are pretty much worth the same on a hot day.

Thank you to both of you guys. Getting ready to do the same to my ‘92 GT. I learned that I now need to figure out how to get the PAG oil out of my system. Everything I researched said PAG and never saw anything about Ether. Hopefully it’s not too difficult and something I can do at home being I can’t drive the car yet. Appreciate all the guys like you in the Foxbody community for helping us with info and how-to’s like this.

Feel your pain man. I blew a air line on my big truck Monday just stopped by freightliner and picked new one up. Filled it up and its not blowing cold. Was working fine b4 line went out. I said blow but it actually had a hole rubbed in it. Talk about miserable try sleeping in a truck sleeper with no ac. I was in laredo Monday nite and it was 85 degrees over nite. I had three electric fans blowing on me and still sweating my butt off. Very frustrated right now I have loads lined up threw Friday so don't really have time to stop and put it in shop. Wish I was at least running the north this week instead of Texas. Haven't had time to watch all the car show vids yet but good job on the ones I have watched.

Oh man I"m sorry to hear that and couldn't even imagine trying to sleep in that hot weather, although I did grow up with A/C, but i'm spoiled now. Thanks for checking out the vids man and I hope the A/C gets fixed for you soon.

Lol I just had that happen to me on my ‘89. My new low side adapter had a black seal in it blocking any Freon from entering the system but showing high on the gauge.

I went thru and replaced all washers with green ones on mine when I replaced the EVAP and condenser (during heater core replacement). It blows cold...but honestly, mines a Ttop yours a vert.... Who really needs AC in our cars? And Happy Birthday, to the bday boy

when running the A/c is it normal for the drier to have condensation which drips down to the header causing smoke?

Yes at least normal for me

Any idea what the torque value is for the low side 1" ac compressor nut? I replaced my compressor and accumulator/hose, and it worked for awhile but I think the nut that connects to the compressor worked itself loose and it leaked there. How many threads are still showing at the low side compressor fitting on yours? That will help a lot.
