Thanks guys for this major help! Very much appreciate it....more info to go on!

This is awesome! Thanks! Will have the kiddo give them a try after he gets back from vacation in september....

There is one brand that still made them a few years back (I cant for the life of me think of the name right now....)...Auztozone's online catalog showed them having them.....but when contacted "we cant get them anymore". :(

I've been looking off an on, no luck so far.......I guess its expected....its a 45 year old car...LOL. Sigh.

Yes sir.....Around HERE there were 4 places I knew well that did them. That number is down to one. My son is in Ohio and he is having trouble finding a shop that does them. I told him worse comes to worse, send me the hose and I will have it done at the last shop I know of around here.....a...

Yeah we already had the system "converted" several years ago.....kiddo replaced the evaporator, and the shop here did the rest of the conversion, evacuated it, filled it.... and it worked for a while....but a hose went bad.....probably should have redone all the hoses THEN (some 10 years ago)...

(deep, patient breath) It's not rocket science, indeed. Kind of a snarky reply, maybe? If that is not how you intended it apologies, but to me, it comes across that way. Life is too short to be anything besides nice..,..especially online where sometimes it is hard to know the intention of a...

Ive been using STabil 360 for years now....I try and run all the cars at least once a month....nice long drive.....but in the winter they set for 3 months without being used or even started, in storage. SO far never had a problem...the Stabil 360 seems to do the trick.

Is it possible to drop the heater box on a 81 Dippy without tearing apart the whole dash? If so, how bad a job is it? I have pulled the heater box on my 72 Cuda a few times and its easy peasy....10 minutes. But I am thinking this o not the same...LOL Thinking I have a leaky evaporator

SO obviously A/C parts like hoses are no longer available OEM. What is the go to way of replacing hoses these days? Local shops do not seem to know what end is up sometimes.... One shop told my son that you cant use the new freon in an old R12 system because it operates at higher pressures...

SO we sourced the lower plates and poly biscuits.... Turns out the upper plates/shock mounts are trash too...... Soooooooo......anyone have a set they wanna sell? LOL Or are these "unobtanium" ??

My son had the rear ISO mounts fail on him today....the u bolts sheered......butt end of the car dropped, axle separated from the leaf springs.... I have never heard of this happening.....but...it happened.....All I can figure is that the ISO stuff failed and resulted in stress on the u bolts...

So, if there appear to be NO leask from the input shaft (steering shaft), internally should be ok? From what we can see the leak is just from the pitman arm. Also, is pulling the pitman off the box only and not from the steering link doable? Found a video online, a guy doing a ram.....he was...

Every time I have tried to get a pitman off (3 times in my life) it has been miserable. On my dakota I coudlnt get it off even with a rented puller......ended up taking it to a shop...they spent a couple hours and used heat and it eventually came off.....I guess I sissied out too soon. On my...

Is it a direct fit, or are mods needed? Use the same pitman, hoses, etc?
