Re: Low side low, high side high! Help!

"I’m beginning to think I have some sort of bad TXV/ restriction in the TXV. I can watch the TXV fluctuate by moving the sensing bulb tho. I was banking on that shroud taking care of it." Not sure what you mean by "you can watch the TXV fluctuate" "I also tried letting some...

Re: Low side low, high side high! Help!

Alright. Made a fan shroud and replaced the fan clutch. Moves a ton of air. Will easily hold a shop towel to the grille.

Re: Low side low, high side high! Help!

I used AC flush from the parts store. Unsure on exact amount of Freon as it came from a 30lb bottle. I played with amount and it never made a difference really. The high side would come down, but the low side would still hang around 26 and cycle immediately. This condenser is the biggest I can fit f...

Low side low, high side high! Help!

Hello all! I’m working on my 1972 Plymouth Valiants “universal” hodgepodge ac system and I can’t get it right!
