    This is exactly what I was looking for on my 79 Malibu. Only thing I’ll need to figure out now is how to power the components, my car was a factory non-AC car

    Man I am going to have to do this to my 84 hot air car as soon as I get it back. This video will be useful but I work on car ac stuff a lot anyway. I have the vacuum pump and gauges. Good video 👍 you know your stuff.

    Had to repair my AC in my Cutlass, it was fairly inexpensive compared to Vintage Air. Wasn't working when I bought it due to a leak in one of the lines.I plan to replace the compressor as it was the only part not replaced.

    • @CRASHBERN
      @CRASHBERN  3 місяці тому +1

      Right now, are you running R12? Do you plan to convert to R134 with the compressor change?

    hey boss new to your channel (but will be sticking around!) what's the "previous video" you reference where you had the AC compressor tested?

    Great video. Just curious in the video you mentioned there are products to use with an R12 system. I have an 87 GN and would like to know what products you were talking about to use without replacing the whole system? Thanks

    • @CRASHBERN
      @CRASHBERN  Місяць тому +1

      @@kizaw Envirosafe makes an R12 substitute that can be used but you cannot mix it with real R12. Alternatively, you can use r134 but you should replace your drier and top off with ester oil as needed - full system replacement not necessary. Whichever way you choose, 1. replace the seals, 2. vacuum down the system, and 3. use a dye to track any future leaks. Best of luck 🤝

    I understand you doing everything by the book but this video would make someone go to vintage, you teach it like a proffessional, we want the version just get running and working for 5 mounths then fix again because we didnt do it right the first time

      😂 I wouldn’t fault you for it. This car will be for sale soon so I was thorough with it. At 1:37 I discuss option 1 & 2, they are much quicker than this third one I went with. I’ve done Vintage before and it’s much more challenging and costly than this
