Yep, a bunch of Mordoc, the denier of information from Dilbert types.
Phew, I just ran a couple of errands. It is humid and hot outside. The trusty ol Elky kept me cool, and itself cool enough. The temp gauge is easy 10 degrees higher than reality and reads 220. So 210 ain't bad driving through traffic and stopping at long red lights. I was glad I had the new antifreeze and everything working well. If I check with my infrared thermometer, it is always lower than the temp gauge.
I think I may need to replace the accumulator and the orifice valve, as the temps were only 45 to 50 degrees for the AC output. With lots of air blowing on me I was plenty cool, just not cold as it should be. It will cost about 35 bucks to replace the accumulator and the orifice valve is 3 bucks at most. A few o-rings that I have on hand and just labor. Recover the refrigerant and reuse it. Maybe top it off if necessary.
I will also have to run the AC cleaner through the condenser if indeed the orifice valve is full of crap as usual. Dang 35 year old AC systems seem to get dirty somehow. It should be blowing 38 to 40 degree air on max blower setting.
