Re: 72 K30 Build
Yeah I believe it, R12 works great.
While researching our AC, I did call around locally most told me they couldn’t get R12. One vendor said they could but it would be $100 a pound, with no guarantee! Even asked a few friends and a buddy of mine has a few cans stashed he won’t part with so, the decision was made to move forward w/134a.
Our plans are as follows everything on the firewall remains factory (2b restored) including a new expansion valve, heater core, gaskets, cloth ducting and various small parts as needed.
The parts list so far:
1 = Modified POA valve calibrated for 134a (Benny) w/low side 134a adaptor fitting (NAPA # 409903?)
1 = Hose Assembly (Old Air # 95-7215A) w/high side 134a fitting built in
1 = Liquid Hose (Old Air # 95-7216)
1 = Harrison A6 replacement (S6) compressor (DiscountACParts # 60-01019NA)
1 = Dual Fan Assembly (Old Air # 50-7230S-2) w/wiring kit, w/jumper harnesses (2=Spal #FR-PT)
1 = Parallel Flow Condenser Kit (Vintage Air # 021567)
Tried several times to get someone at Vintage Air to confirm that a factory style hose kit would bolt to their condenser kit. They would not confirm but we took a chance and it does bolt up. This last piece makes it a bolt in so should be easy peasy!
