Thanks Tagamaynila! The car is great. Of course, I started another project on it. I am putting in electric AC using a hybrid of stock, Griffiths and Classic Retrofit parts. You can find that project here:
1985 AC project I took a couple of months off to travel and have fun, but I will be back to it soon. Thanks for checking in. If you have any questions...feel free to reach out. |

SpyderMike, good to know you car car is doing great. By the way it looks awesome. The other thing I like is that you post a new thread when you do other things. This way it is keeps things organized. Very much like everybody who has a Gbody our AC needs to be updated. For sure I will be following this new AC thread, fascinated and learning along the way.

Thanks again! I really like this site for all the information that is available. I just try to pay back by posting things I think might help, even if it a mistake I have made, and to do it in a way that might be easy to find.
I hope my hybrid AC works, but, if it doesn't, I will keep at it until it does! |

So far, the new hybrid AC system works! I am now in the "dial it in phase"...and waiting for warmer weather.

Due to the new AC system equipment location, I needed to come up with a windshield washer system. I finished it today and here it is:

And the process keeps moving along. The AC system still works great with no issues. For a while I have heard the groan in the front while coming to a stop or a slow turn. I am pretty sure I know what it is. I think the last front bearing change was in the early 1990s somewhere between 100k and 150k miles.
Anywho I got the new parts in from Pelican and started the process of taking everything apart. What a mess! The races are a bigger and I will be using my grill to heat things up as I only got one out with a hammer/drift method. I have got to clean the part too. So far, things look good for 250,000 miles and 40 years!
