I converted my 300H and my 64 LeBaron to 134a.  Changed the oil to ester, changed the drier, gassed it up and pushed the button.  Both cars work well.  The 134a takes a little longer to cool than R12, but for the cost difference, I'll wait.

Subject: IML: Re:airconditiong/retrofit

for 66 imperial ac retrofit, i was told that the condensor needed to be changed for a high flow model,of course the receiver/dryer needed to be changed,  a flush wouldn't hurt.   the oil needs to be changed from the original mineral oil to ester(ester works with both r 12  and 134a)(pag only with 134a).  Does anyone have experience with a retro fit where the condensor was not changed and the ac worked well?  I really don't want to change the condensor and would be forced to recharge with r12 after replacing the v2 compressor which failed(from advanceautoparts, or some other source if someone has a good place in the san fernando valley.   thanks  mmonsher@xxxxxxx
