Two summers ago while heading to Roebling Road on I-95, it was 99 F outside. The temperature of air coming out of my dash slot was 43 F at the end of a cycle. I measured these with a little digital thermometer. My 23 year old MB does not do as well but is adequate. I think the compressor in it is short for this world. The whole car may be short for this world! It is original everything except one hose and receiver/dryer. Nice looking car though.

I have had good success with Duracool. It is flammable because it is about 60% propane. BTW, propane has a higher latent heat than R12 has. The fact that it is flammable scares a lot of people out of using it. You use about 40% as much by weight.
