Thanks guys, Now to attend to other matters on the list Minuit. The temps are cold. I need to grab my dads temp gun and see what is coming out. But I thoroughly enjoyed the cruise home. Someone on here was right about the 2.5L not wanting to go fast now with AC. And that is true. When I met up with pirate I managed to snag a heavy duty cooling fan for the 2.8L. so if temps go up, that fan is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 36.4 degrees out of the middle vent! Damn that's cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minuit Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Was that taken with an IR gun? I use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/FJC-2790-1-3-Dial-Thermometer/dp/B0002JMEVC/ref=sr_1_24?keywords=dial+thermometer&qid=1568162983&s=gateway&sr=8-24#customerReviews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 IR gun. Pointed at the very back of the vent. Probably blowing out somewhere close to 50* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably blowing out somewhere close to 50* 50F is still a very good number considering the Renix era's smaller compressor and various other things. If I remember correctly you're using a stock replacement condenser too. At the end of the day, all that really matters is that YOU HAVE AIR CONDITIONING! A/C in my opinion is the one thing that is always, 100% of the time, completely worth the heartache and cost involved in getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted September 11, 2019 Author Share Posted September 11, 2019 Yup. Factory condenser. Despite the battle and a half I went through, the burden has been lifted from my shoulders and it has all been very worth it. My father is calling this as an omen as he fixed my moms AC and predicts hell will freeze over here. Lets see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 Well. Thanks to JMO he sent me his cruise regulator and sure enough cruise control is back and fully operational! Couple things done that I failed to point out that I have done Replaced the cowl grill with a NOS one. Much better than the one that was falling apart from the sun Replaced my hella 550's with smaller 450's AC went through a hiccup, I lost Freon and yesterday it stopped cooling. I literally had a dream the previous night to where I was driving home and AC stopped blowing cold. Talk about living your dream. Anyways got the loose connection tightened and had the system evaced and recharged. It is now blowing cold once more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 I think I foresee an interior tear down to refresh the panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did an upgrade that I've been adamant about doing. Crusiers blower motor ground. Never had a reason to cut into the pristine harness until now.

eaglescout526 Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 So far so cold with AC. Driving home is much more bearable now. Next is to refresh the interior panels with new coat of paint. Then I shall start a new project so I can get Little Red painted and be done with the restoration. Hint, New project(hopefully) is the epitome of 70's luxury and is Mopar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eaglescout526 Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 Well I took all the light grey interior pieces out today and gave them a refresh on paint. Damn. That's how good it looks. Even painted the euramtec light bezels too to match. Now I just need the other color to do the lower dash bezel and center console. Also got the windows tinted. No longer have factory tint. It does help with cooling off the inside of the cab. Before After (I know, it may look funny but I had the panel in a different spot. I blame the lighting and my color blindness) It definitely looks new inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
