134a Conversion Question
My '92 A/C has bit the dust and since I'm about out of r12 I'm converting to 134a. Plans are to replace everything in the system, new R4 comp., all hoses, etc. with the exception of the evaporator as I'm afraid the dash will crumble into pieces. Most parts are coming from RockAuto. After searching all the related posts here, I have not found a good part number for a drop in parallel flow condenser. Does anyone have a good brand and part number that they have used? Also not really sure which orifice tube and pressure switch to use. Thanks for any help, really want to get it right the first time.

Re: 134a Conversion Question
Are your R12 components still good ?
I am going to try this Redtek stuff on my 93 when the time comes. https://redtek.ca/refrigerants/12a/

Re: 134a Conversion Question
Well the compressor is tired and leaking so I know I need to replace it. As far as I can tell everything else is good, just old as in original, so I thought I would replace hoses, condenser, dryer, orifice tube, and all "O" rings, especially if I went the 134a route. I would do the evaporator to, but he dash is so brittle, I'm afraid I would trash it. What is the Redtek stuff?

Re: 134a Conversion Question
My dash was already trashed, but I did fiberglass cloth and resin to put it together/hold it together while I changed the evaporator.
