Thanks compress ignite,
YES! The AF is functioning beautifully, It kicks in strong @ approx: 100F. pulling all that nasty hot air away from the condenser. I have replaced the Engine Thermostat also and she runs a cool approx: 82C at norm operating temp and rises only fractionally with the A/C Functioning. She actually dissipates heat rather well considering her age. Which is why I expexted a little better performance from her. Yes all rubber that I saw was replaced. I know, some people do not realize the importance of that.) I will update you with true pressures and temps of the system shortly! Question? If I were to take the time to break it down and start over is it worth it for R12?
