Re: [Chrysler300] A/C

[Keith Boonstra <kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In restoring my '57 C I found and installed a genuine 1957 Mopar "add-on 
A/C" unit.  In last week's 100 degree weather it had no trouble at all 
keeping the cabin cool as a cucumber.  I used the old-style R-12 freon 
in it and the thing could freeze you right out.  Could not be more 
pleased with the decision, and folks love to see that old evaporator on 
the transmission hump.  With R-12 you don't have to increase the size of 
the condenser or the evaporator to get serious cooling out of it.

With respect to the overheating, I had the very same problem, and I 
totally fixed it by replacing the fan clutch with a brand new _thermal_ 
one.  I knew the clutch had to be the problem as my radiator had been 
freshly re-cored.

Good luck.
