134a conversion update

[abatzis2@hotmail.com (Michael Abatzis)]

so a couple of months since the conversion, in the middle of brutal atlanta 
summer. impressions of the conversion:

fan speed on 3 (only works on 2 and 3, any ideas?), max cool/recirc.  vent 
temp is anywhere between 45-52' with ambient temp at 96'. tons of humidity 
also, if that makes a diff for a/c purposes.  this is putting a huge burden 
on the cooling system though- even with an oil cooler, oil temp runs 
110-120, water hotter than usual also.  if i leave it to idle for too long, 
it will overheat. anyway, it's handling the weather admirably i think, 
though not as well as the old r12.  as a reminder, this was the halfassed 
conversion: no new o-rings, no evacuation of old open system (new drier 
though). i think that done right the 134 should be able to handle pretty 
much any weather. that is all.
