Re: 58 Bel Air 348ci

So I got it running and idling decent and decided I would try to charge the AC with the Maxi Fridge universal refrigerant I scored on evilbay. People say this stuff is pretty much just propane but it worked OK in my 99 Bird so I gave it a shot. I saw a fridge recently at work that had a big label on the back stating that it had Cyclopentane refrigerant in it and it was flammable. This must be ok stuff?Anyway- 42 degrees at the vents on one can. Woohoo the AC works. Probably will leak out quick due to the old hose clamp style hoses but I got something to work with and I have a hose kit and crimper. But for now I was just happy to get it working. Then it happened. I heard a dripping noise. Yep you guessed it, the heater core was flowing like a river right on the pretty blue carpet. DANG! I am going over there today to bypass remove and send out for rebuild.
