Except for the R134a everything else is stock

When the sky is cloudy or at nighttime I have to have a slight heater running with the a/c because it just gets too cold.
We took my car on a short road trip this afternoon. No window tint, factory setup other than reseal, replacement wear parts (TXV, dryer, pressure switches, O-rings, Shrader cores), and properly charged 134a.


Temp Wheel: ~70F (border where white meets blue)

Vent: 46-48F
Outside: 86F
Humidity: High (hazy because it stormed last night)
Sun: High

Fan speed: Auto (running med-high to med-low after cabin pulled down)


Car sat in direct sunlight from 10:30AM - 4:30PM. Interior hot to the touch. Was cranking out cold by the time we'd navigated the feeder road and gotten on the Interstate.
