Well I got almost everything in. Air hoses are now all hooked up. Some hoses I bought from Coheed showed up today and those hoses became my saving grace. So with the condenser being a factory condenser and not a dealer one really messed with the dealer hoses and made the distance from the dryer to the hose father away than what the dealer air would have. So if those hoses I had not bought shown up today, I would've been hosed(heh). They are in decent shape, seen years of use. not filthy on the inside just some mineral oil residue. They should work fine. All that is left is to button up the interior and install rad hoses, belt, fan and shroud. I need to get a picture of it up before I reinstall it. I painted it and it looks good. I really hope all this works. It is just a hot mess of 2.5L parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Just because this is the 101st post for Little Red and for my love of Fallout series I will post a quote by Ron Perlman narrating the opening to Fallout 3 "Vault 101. This is where you are born, this is where you will die." Also Wooo page five! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Getting there!! It’s looking damn good...and damn cramped. Learned a couple things today: 1). Your father has a better idea of things and thus I learned to fish an AC line through this small crack between the radiator and it’s support like so; 2). The water pump pulley is bare metal for a reason on the groove for the belt.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Well she is back together. Took a little drive around the block, ran great! Forgot to plug in the speedometer, thank goodness I have cruise. Wonder how she will do when the system is good and charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 I found something yesterday in my old air box. It’s really neat but I find it valuable. Its a penny from 1988. It sat right under the blower motor wheel is and it probably sat there since ‘88 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WesD Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 Oh no. Hope it didn't contaminate your lines, condenser, and evaporator. Make sure you don't have metal shavings in the oil (I'm guessing you used PAG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure you don't have metal shavings in the oil (I'm guessing you used PAG) Actually it blew more in an exciting fashion. As soon as I clicked it over to AC the clutch locked up and blew a seal. So there will be no metal shavings anywhere. So all in all everything passed with flying colours. Just the clutch didn’t like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) Well its been a busy day! Met up with pirate and picked the salvage yard. Compressor came in and will install that today. And I have thrown in the towel on cruise control(sorry for the confusion, lol)I don't know why or how this happened but it is beyond me. Damn. Wish AMC was still around. Edited September 9, 2019 by eaglescout526 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the confusion. (Gonna go fix it) It just moved to the back burner for now. With no known good regulator for me to use, It has since become a low priority. Plan is to fix the one that burnt a resistor at some point and see why the heck this other one won’t do a bloody thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
