Hello all, working on some A/C while I have my interior out and before it gets too hot out here in Atlanta, but I had a couple questions.
quick rundown- I am installing the factory A/C components except I am modifying the system for 134A (compressor, evap, condenser, hoses, etc)
These are for modern A/C parts unless specified!
First Q is about evaporators, do they need to be mounted vertically or can I mount one horizontally? If not horizontally can I run it say... 20-30 degrees off vertical? (and about how far off vertical can I run if I can't do horizontal.)
can anyone suggest a modern 134a compressor preferably from a car around 2000 (bonus points for ford) that would work well in a 59 bird with a 352 with fabricated brackets? I would love to go with the aftermarket sanders compressors but I am trying to do a 'budget' build as much as possible.
On the my original fan I have 3 wires, ground low and hi I assume, on the fan I got from the A/C donor car it has only 2 wires and on the side of the fan housing is two wire attaching points and if you look on the inside it is just a coiled wire about 2" long. Any ideas what is different? I was planning on running my original fan since it works, but what is the coiled wire thingamajig?
Thanks all for looking, I am taking a ton of pics so I can do a factory or modified A/C install how-to, I will probably need some pics from a factory A/C car to complete it, so look for that soon!
