Technical Underdash Heat and A/C

I can't remember where i got the condenser, but i think i just measured and got a universal one from either the truck guys or auto parts. The Sanden is a 508 or 509 model, got it new from a swap meet for $50. The drier came from the truck guys-universal also. They also made up the hoses for me. Suggest you might go online and see what's available on the universal side if you're comfortable in doing that. Car a/c system is not magic, I even tackled the charging by going to an auto parts store, renting a vac. pump and gauges and just doing it. One suggestion--If you do this, you can buy and IR flashlight online for like $10. --super for showing leaks in the system.

 

Thanks, that helps.

 

since this older evaporator had flare fittings did you make your hoses for flare? Or use ORing adapters?
I tried leak down on mine and its leaking at flare adapters.
