AS we all no summer is here and I want to get this AC pumping. I think I have everything except one thing that confusing me about this POA VALVE. My question to you all is..What to do with the line coming from the Evaporator Box. Am i missing a connection from the line to the POA VALVE or do I have to turn the POA Vavle and connect it to the line coming from the Evaporator Box

 

turn the valve. looks like your temp bulb is not in the core yet

 

you are saying just turn it to the right and connect it to the line coming from the
evaporator box?

 

Kinda like this...

I wonder why the line coming from my evaporator box isn't as long as yours. Do you all recommend converting my AC to r134 or staying R12? Where can I find R12?

 

Craig's List is about the only spot and prices are all over the place

 

Not sure why your line is shorter, unless your evap was replaced and the replacement part was incorrect...

Old shade tree mechanics and old car owners who no longer have older cars would be the best to ask for R12. Ask around at work, put out a request on company bulletin board or something. That is how I obtained mine years ago for my 86...

If your system leaks badly or the compressor is bad, or any good amount of $$ will be spent getting it to work, convert to 134 and go it all right then. This was freon would be easier and cheaper to get should you ever need it later.

 

Instead of looking for the real R12 which is expensive if you can find it try one of the replacement products...should be lots out there at the parts stores..Duracool is one but they go under different names probably where you live...I use it in my 65...works great...Its a do it your self product...
