I am considering replacing my original condensor - which is perfectly OK - with one that is designed to work with R134a.
1. Does anyone make a cross flow/parallel flow condensor that is a direct fit for 68-72 F85?
2. Has anyone installed a universal fit model in a 68-72 F85? Which one did you use, and how did you mount it? Any pictures?
3. I found a direct fit condensor that is tube and fin construction, aluminum, with more fins than the original. It is available from several sources - I assume they are all made by the same folks. They say that it works OK with R134a (of course). Has anyone tried one of these?

 

Answering my own question 1 - Classic Auto Air makes a direct fit cross flow condensor for my car. P/N 11-803P. $299. It is only slightly more expensive than the tube and fin model with more fins.

 

It made a HUGE improvement in my A/C when I installed one. I also rum 134A, a POA (not a by-pass, or update) recalibrated for 134A.

 

Thanks! I have a recalibrated POA. Am taking things apart to replace the compressor seal, so I might as well...

 

Let us know the results.

Years ago I noticed that the factory condenser had something like 9 or 11 fins-per-inch whereas my '98 Jeep had around 20, which made me start thinking about how much better my AC could work with modern parts. I live in Phoenix so improving the AC function is something I am interested in, which is why I kept the system R-12 instead of converting it nearly 15 years ago.
