Why do you believe the compressor does not cycle? It's not always readily apparent on a 617.

That makes sense. Mine had been converted to R-134 years before I purchased the car.

I guessed the compressor was on 100% of the time because I drove the car for 90 miles on the highway and got the inside nice and cool. I then had my wife slowly turn the temp dial to hot as I watched the compressor and the clutch never kicked off.
