I recently replaced the Compressor & clutch in my 64. It
is the same system as 65. I was able to get a rebuilt compressor clutch
& from Kragen Auto Parts. I also got a new EPR valve from them. I
got a receiver drier from New air products in phoenix. While the system was
open I cleaned the expansion valve. Tested it in the freezer
& warm water. I flushed all the lines & coils with mineral
spirits. Blew out everything with compressed air. I replaced all the O rings
& replaced the receiver drier. Installed the new compressor with new EPR
valve and charged the system with R134. The day I finished it was 103 in the
valley. I had COLD air inside my Imperial! It has worked fine ever since. You
may have to hunt around for a gasket for the EPR valve. I was able to find one
thru Car Quest.
