To clarify a little more, R-134A is not as efficient in its heat transfer

You have two choices:
1.) Find a shop that will do R12; or,
2.) Replace your current condenser with a parallel flow condenser. There is a
company that makes them for W123 and W126 chassis cars. I put one in my 350SDL
and it was a “portal to the Arctic” when I was done.

Water with a bit of Dawn dish detergent. Temperature depends on the carb. Some

The real question is what else should you do apart from adding freon to

I skimmed over the ad copy -- yeah a flat head Ford V8 will have all kinds of

I'd probably also convert the electrical system to 12V and put in an

No plasma cutter, recip saw and angle grinder/cutoff tool. Benz steel is
