Dash AC / Sight glass

[sfedeli3]

Hi Jay,

Yes, I replaced the rooftop condenser with a new one from Acme
radiator and A/C. Ran around $350. Is larger and does a great job.
Flushed and pulled the whole system down to a full zero. Since I can
recover, filter and reuse, I'll probably replace the dryer and old
compressor after the summer. The R-134A is much harder on rubber in
the system. There is talk of something better than R-134A coming
down the pike, but don't know what it is yet. It is supposed to be
more compatible and work at lower pressures than the R-134A.
