Okay Bill -- one last try on the a/c issue. Please go buy yourself a copy of the Haynes Techbook, Automotive Heating & Air Conditioning. Lord Gary suggested I buy a copy, and it is the best a/c investment I have ever made. This book gets very specific about pulling a proper vacuum on a system before charging it. First, being able to pull a proper vacuum is a diagnostic to verify that the system has no leaks. Second, it is extremely critical for boiling all the moisture out. This book has a chart showing what vacuum you should expect at any given altitude. I just flipped through the book looking for it, but shit fire & save matches. I'm taking Gary's advice. Go get your own copy. Moisture won't start to evaporate until it approaches a hard vacuum. Anything below 28mmHG isn't even close enough. So when you go bragging that a 17mmHG vacuum is good enough, that is just total bullshit. Yes, when we talked at the last SEDOC and I complained about the way you serviced your a/c, your response was that your system is working great; therefore, there is nothing wrong with it. Well yeah, okay. You could probably piss in the system, charge it up and still have it work. The problem is that residual moisture will react with the refrigerant, turn acidic and cause all kinds of problems. And a cute little blunder you pulled on Mike Cohee's a/c system is that you tried to flush it with a solvent, but you flushed it through the accumulator, clogged the orifice tube and left it that way. I am trying to resist the urge to call you a (well can't resist) YOU FUCKING IDIOT! (ah, I feel much better now, thank you.) And I still like you. If I were stuck on the Apollo capsule and needed to make an air filter out of notebook covers & tape, I would definitely want you there. But I wouldn't have you anywhere near the thing before takeoff. :-) Walt Yahoo!
