Yes, I know it's january and there is a nor'easter about to drop two feet of snow on me....but let's talk ac.
Putting the ac back in my fox. I was an idiot for removing it
Question #1. does anyone have a good rebuild/ technical data document on the nippon-denso 6P148A compressor?
Question #2.. Should I go r-12 or r-134a?
So I have all brand new parts. Here my list so far.
NEW
Evaporator
Accumulator + hose
Orifice tube line
Misc 3rd ac line
Condenser
Used
Ac/power steering accessory bracket + hardware
Compressor.
The compressor is used, but I actually took it off an r12 car recently with a working ac system. Ran fine, and I've inspected it internally with borescope and everything looks clean and corrosion free. I have confidence in it. I've vacuum sealed it for now to protect against moisture.
Problem I find is everyone has write-ups on r134a conversions, but I want to stay r-12. It's more efficient and runs cooler. Since all my parts are new, I need tom decide now what to use, but can't find info on r-12
What is the fill charge of r-12?
How much POE oil do I need?
The compressor was drained, but how do I know how much is currently inside? sanden gives some excellent info on it's compressor and estimated oil remaining on a drilled compressor, but I can't find anything on the Nippon-denso compressor. I need to find out how much oil I need to add total, as well as total r-12 charge.
I also need to change the two o-rings on the compressor and pick up a damn good vacuum pump.
Does anyone know if there are any caps I can use on the ac compressor to seal the suction and discharge ports? I want to put it on the car, but not let moisture get inside.
