RE: A/C issue

[mikelj@xxxxxxx]

Oh yes, the retrofit kit is $54, comes with fittings to allow the R134a cans to be feed into the original low pressure side fitting on the original compressor.  The retrofit comes with a special ester oil that allows the conversion.  The more expensive conversion is to replace all the A/C stuff with the Vintage Air or similar system.  I have that on my '66 Corvette, it works great but is very expensive.  On my '64 Polara 500, I just assumed it had been retrofitted and just charged it, using the adapter fittings that came with the retrofit kit.  It took 1 can and low side pressure came up to 30 psi, and it is now very cold so problem solved.  Thanks.
