Jeff, we are a couple of steps closer to otr a/c. While nosing around inside the dash repairing the wiper squirters I noticed alot of oily resedue around the ducts below the evaporator so I pulled it and had it tested, its o/k. I then ordered the expansion valve that the evaporator threads into Im pretty sure this was the culpret because the hoses are good, either that or it was a loose fitting. Were going to vaccum it down again and if it holds vac this time. I am undecided if I will install the freon, have a local shop do it, or take it to a prevost charter co with a service garage that Im sure has done it a thousand times. Having spent almost 600 bucks for the R-12 I dont want any mistakes. Also I remember seeing somewhere you posted correct high and low pressure levels what were they again. One more thing, Jon also suggested I replace the compressor seal since the system is currently empty and could be a potential leak, it has also has arrived and needs to be installed. Lets get real specific like we know you can! Thanks.
