Factory AC survivors of this vintage are rare. I had a '68 F100 with a 390. Optional two tone paint , Gold over Polar White, Bucket seats and the under dash AC.

@AutoRestoMod 4 года назад

I like the sound of that. I have encountered a few here in South Carolina. And know where three are in the salvage yards around here.

All the hard work involved is so worth it! Even way up here in Canuckville!

HI AS u said the pressure chart is a guide ONLY. In reality a head pressure of 150--240 is ok .The closer to 150 the better . How to achieve this in this truck is to fit the biggest aftermarket R134a type ==PARALLEL flow condensor . In the video a R12 = SERPENTINE condensor is shown . These will lower pressures far less than a parallel flow. Why bother ?? Because the evaporator loves being fed cold refrigerant. This give colder vent temps

@AutoRestoMod 3 года назад

Yes, I agree, but if originality is your game then the parallel won't fit the bill. Note that we also didn't go with the Sanden style compressor, nor did we have a higher fin and tube count evap core. We went for original appearing with the convenience of R134.

@wkjeeping9053 Месяц назад

It's not freon. Freon is illegal to use now. It's 134a refrigerant.

@modular_kellogs8023 3 года назад

I have a 69 f250 ranger camper special. It has factory AC, can you do a vid on how to rebuild the compressor to work with R134?

@japerolthuis 3 года назад

Fill with propane and you need nothing more than that

@jondavis7058 4 года назад

Classic Auto Air has the best fitting and performing A/C systems.

@amiamso 4 года назад

Great Video! Tons of good info. I do have a question, would you recommend using Nylog Blue on the fittings or should I stay away from sealers?

@AutoRestoMod 4 года назад

No sealers on the stuff. The tubes are designed to seal with a flair type fitting.

@ronclewell799 4 года назад

Great show, thanks for the laughs

@philipstegall6025 3 года назад

I watched the videos about installing A/C to a Ford pickup truck. My dad owned a 1969 F100. Could A/C be added to this '69 F100? My youngest brother in Columbia owns the truck now. The truck has a 6 cylinder motor with three on the tree. I can only ask for me and not my brother.

@AutoRestoMod 3 года назад

Yes. I would add the Vintage Air AC though.

@J1m03 3 года назад

I have a 1959 f100 but it’s LS swapped with a 4.8 🤐 would I be able to add AC?

@AutoRestoMod 3 года назад

Yep. Just need the brackets for the 4.8

@paulthompson1654 3 года назад

hi To help high/head pressure fit a quality high cfm 12 inch electric fan to come on when compressor engaged . Signal wire of the compressor wire which switches an external fan relay . This allows the factory look to be kept .

@AutoRestoMod 3 года назад

Nice tip!

@swampy6x659 3 года назад

Hi I do understand that u are also fitting a kit. But as with everything there is always a way to get more performance out of even the air/con . Of course this would mainly suit subscribers in tropical/desert areas . Even a tube and fin evap core benefits from a better/bigger condenser. Evap cores and condenser are only heat exchangers

@AutoRestoMod 3 года назад

Agreed. As stated, this was to show that you can get a stock appearing system with 134.

@clevelandmaker386 4 года назад

OK... WHAT YOU DO IN YOUR PERSONAL TIME IS YOUR BUSINESS BROTHER......but still great video...... but will it work with cars too! by the way......nice truck...but them wheels😮

@AutoRestoMod 4 года назад

Yes it will. Know what those baby moons would look good on? a STARLINER.

@clevelandmaker386 4 года назад

@@AutoRestoMod just might....but I'm more a Coker wire man myself! BUT MORE IMPORTANT THAN THAT... I've put the idea of... THE AUTORESTOMOD CHRISTMAS STARLINER SPECIAL! (with holiday potluck.. of course!)

@ernestcarmichael1993 3 года назад

hello just seen your video i have a 1969 buick electra 225 with factory ac is there anyone who makes new ac hoses for this car

@AutoRestoMod 3 года назад

@stephenhotzjustdriveit 4 года назад

Thx on the hose routing.

@AutoRestoMod 4 года назад

You bet

@biglakehotrods381 4 года назад

Really nice truck! You should detail the engine, colonel mustard’s engine turned out great when you went through it.

@AutoRestoMod 4 года назад

It is gone to it's new home. I'll let the new owner fry that fish. LOL

@Nope-by9ks 3 года назад

Hey great video! I have cold AC now, but I have a 76 mercury Comet, and ever since I’ve owned it it’s been stuck on defrost any help?

@AutoRestoMod 3 года назад

Usually a vacuum issue. I would start looking for busted vacuum canisters (it will be an internal bust, so a vacuum pump is in order) I would also contact Auto Krafters and get a service manual set so you can use them to help diagnose the issue.

@Nope-by9ks 3 года назад

@@AutoRestoMod Thank you so much!

@vcval 4 года назад

@13:08 I can see some green liquid on one of the compressor bolts , is that UV dye ?

@AutoRestoMod 4 года назад

Yes. We added that and then realized that OA Group puts the oil in there for you. SO we had to remove some of it...

@hotrodray6802 4 года назад

Why would anyone want to install an R12 type condenser coil? Does appearance mattwr THAT much?

@willbyrne8493 4 года назад

R 134 refrigerant is a replacement for r 12, but the oil in the system is not compatible and will turn sludge, very bad. That really why you want to replace everything.

@AutoRestoMod 4 года назад

Often, no. But some of these trucks (and even classic cars) go full Monty and it has to be right to compete. Keep in mind we are doing an F100, this stuff applies to other cars as well.

@WesternReloader 4 года назад

I’ve got an old Ford and would like to know where the clutch cycling pressure switch goes? I also have the receiver dryer and TXV valve

@AutoRestoMod 4 года назад

What year and model old Ford? Cause by now a 2004 is getting "old".

@WesternReloader 4 года назад

Autorestomod Manic Mechanic Gasoline Media 1980 Ford Bronco. A new York 210 compressor, new receiver drier, new hoses, new condenser, new evaporator, just recharged it with R12. Yes I’ve got access to R12. It blows nice and cold, but for the time being I only have a manual toggle switch to turn compressor clutch on/off for only 15 seconds at a time, as it’s my understanding the compressor isn’t supposed to run all the time. Also, the receiver drier has an UN used threaded fitting that’s plugged. Maybe a pressure switch could be threaded into it, however, it looks like the only clutch cycling switches sold go into the low pressure side on the accumulator of a orifice tube system. It’s really sad that I literally have exactly everything for MY system, even the R12, and these supposed “parts suppliers” don’t have what I need
