Phantom Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 I hate AC fittings. JC worked all day yesterday trying to finesse an AC fitting into behaving. Finally last night had to get ugly with it, drill it out, tap it and then it went together. Whole day wasted basically due to one fitting. Sooooo - today it's once again - charge the AC, mount the ECM, put the hood back on and road test the differential. On top of that - the strut tower braces are firmly lost by UPS. I called Top End Racing this morning to let them know I had emailed the details to them yesterday and to get them to initiate the trace on the parts. Oh - and it just keeps getting better - now UPS is saying that the parts never got on the truck from California. Then the girl tries to give me a number to call that has a one digit area code - DUH!!! AAAARG! The anguish of it all. So close yet so far. I feel like I'm caught in the step halfway each time syndrome where you never really get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumo Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Just out of curiosity, i assume your using 134A in your AC now? Are you still using your original condenser unit? By the way hang in there, you dont wanna get a stroke from these boneheads from UPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted May 29, 2003 Author Share Posted May 29, 2003 Nope - Using Freeze 12 in the AC. It's an envirofriendly version of R-12. costs less and cools better. Yes, using original coils inside & outside. AC works now. Oops - forgot to install carbon canister. Also need to install speedometer drive, mount the ECM, and install a heat shield on passengers side to protect some wiring from the header. UPS is being very "friendly and cooperative". Parts are still lost but they're being "friendly and cooperative". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumo Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 I've used the Freeze 12 stuff, it's an ok substitute. I still have a half a tank of R12 i bought eons ago before the ban. Glad to hear that your ac issues have worked out, with the weather today as a preview your gonna need it. Yeah UPS is friendly but it still delays ya.
