Great thread, and very timely for me.
I want to upgrade my 1982 300SD ( W126--Gen1) as much as I can while I have it in the shop.
What pieces do I need from my 1991 300SE (W126--Gen2) ?
I already grabbed the condenser.
I plan on new compressor, receiver-drier, and expansion valve.
What is the best choice for compressor? Do I need a mounting kit?
I plan on using R134 because it is easily available, but if R12 is required to get it really cool in the Mid Atlantic's high heat and humidity--tell me now. ( I have R134 gauges and a vacuum pump)
Anything else to know?
