Progress on the evaporator replacement
Jim, I got all of the vacuum lines hooked up, thanks to your advice. I checked the pods with a Vacuala brake bleeder. I had a difficult time (about 90 minutes worth) getting the underhood lines to connect to the expansion valve; apparently the replacement ACM evaporators's lines need just a little bending. There isn't much room to do that once the evaporator is in! Then there was one of the three 5 mm screws that holds the metal mount for the two upper servos that wouldn't line up with the threaded, sleeved hole in the upper flange on the heater box. I finally gave up on that one but I think it is secure with the other two screws plus the two 8 mm studs that attach at both corners. I was going to replace the two foam drain lines with 3/4" heater hose. I tried Advance Auto but they did not have the heater hose. Plenty of pine tree deoderizers to hang from the rearview mirror but no heater hose. I miss the real parts stores of yesteryear. Tomorrow is another day, and I think I'll finish. I have about 18 hours in thus far.
Thank you again for your help, Frank
