Well, I can understand when someone else drives the car, which I never allow. But I don't know if there is a schrader valve in there or not. Perhaps someone who has removed their ac system can check those fittings for you.

I know what you mean about others driving the car. I tell my wife the only important gauge to watch is the temp gauge. I figure a total failure of oil pressure would be rare.

On the switch note here is a picture of the switch. The part the screws into the high pressure line. Does not look like there would be a pin or other mechanism that would push on a schrader valve. Take a look.. See what you think.

Still looking for a ac shop that reclaims or recovers r12. One guy told me I should change out the receiver / dryer if I am going to evacuate the system. He states it is very inexpensive and it acts as a filter for impurities and removes moisture from the system as well as a reservoir. My system cools very well although it is a tad low on freon and has not been opened to air since 1991. Any thoughts. I hate to fix things that are not broken.

Yes.. Delete it and gain a 10th of a second.

Best mod I ever did.

[mrnickleye]

If the ac is working, and cold, and just a bit low on freon, leave it alone.

The receiver/dryer should only by replaced when the system needs to be opened, like fixing a broken hose.

I like your thinking but remember I am going to replace the high pressure switch and the system will be open. Not for long I hope. Just long enough to unscrew the switch and put the new one in. Vacuum the system and then recharge it. What is your feeling on that? Thanks.

Vacuum it down for a full hour, and this will remove 98% of the moisure in there. Then recharge it. Are you going to refill with the "very" expensive R-12 ??
