Re: R-12 to R-134a Retrofit; was Re: IML: Change Over for 1975 AutoTemp



I tried to get my '71 Imperial "recharged" and the garage put in the expansion valve but the compressor wouldn't get up and kick in.  They made comment to it needs the compressor rebuilt and a receiver.  It now has a tag on it 134A so I appear to be ready for 134A when I get the new/rebuilt compressor.  But what is a receiver.  I think it is the thing that looks like a pop can in the front of the radiator.  Am I correct.  I see from the web sight links to a firm in Texas that has rebuilt compressors for USD $175.00 that I can get shipped to a friend in New York where I can go and install it and then do the Sam's Club thing for the 134A.  Is this process reasonably straight forward as it sounds or am I over simplifying things again??

Check the price of R134a.  Now about $8 for 12 ounces.
I buy it by the case at Sam's Club -- 12 12 oz. cans for $23 plus tax.
