I bought a used MasterCool crimper set on ebay. Can sell it when done for almost the same price. I have 3 classic cars to restore the AC, but also used it on my newer vehicles both AC hoses, oil coolers, and power steering and heater hoses. I use smaller reduced barrier hose when I can. The reduced dies are expensive, but some standard dies also fit the next larger reduced barrier (#6 die for #8 reduced ferrules, and #10 die worked for #12 reduced even though not listed). Without the crimper, you can use Oeticker stepless ear clamps for a slick look (use 2 each end to be safe). I have used a cheap nail-puller pliers to crimp them instead of the special pliers. BTW, when crimping you tighten the top shell down to the mark on the bottom shell.

AutoRestoMod I'm preparing to do a wire tuck on my car and I know lots of people just remove aircon, but I'm trying to hide the lines in a bid to get the best of both worlds. I notice the factory system has loops in it (the line comes out of the compressor and comes right up to the top of the engine bay before heading downwards), and also that the fill ports are at the highest point in the system. are there any rules regarding fill port location or the layout of the piping that I need to be aware of? or is it just a matter of making sure the fill ports are accessible?

Not really a problem if you are in a very humid climate. The hot air and cold a/c line can make condensate. You can get cork tape wrap to alleviate some of that.

What difference does it make which side of the heater core you place the re-stricter?
@AutoRestoMod
9 жыл бұрын
You want the restrictor on the pressure side to keep a gush from going in and not being able to get out. If you restrict the flow out you are more likely to pop the core. On early Mustangs popping a core is pretty unlikely but we didn't want to take a chance.

Those hoses aren't oil friendly. I had a PS leak on my lincoln continental, 2 a/c hoses are soft and destroyed. I have to get a custom one now, cause no one makes the part. Prob will get the mastercool tool.

spend all that money and then use 134? it wont be freezer cold.it wont even be stock 1968 cold. from what ive read use a 134 codensor as large as will fit a new R12 compressor,a new dryer and clean and test the r12 expansion valve. bolt it all up and add front condensor fans with a manual driver controlled switch. hopefully 18 degrees coming out the vents, bits of ice building up on vents :-) car goes fast but did you super cool the a/c to freezer cold? never seen anyone build it .. all kida fast cars but no freezer fog pooring out the door in summer.
