Loren, no idea if the evaporator is original. No service records, I've owned the car about ten years, about 75k miles. AC was not working when I got the car, it had been converted to R134a, ignorant "mechanic" had add extra wiring to try to gerry-rig the compressor to run. New seals and clutch on the compressor, new expansion valve, fixed the aux fan control and wiring, lately I added a new condenser. PBU and evaporator are about the only parts I haven't touched yet. If/when I pull the dash to replace the vacuum pods, I am planning to leave the evaporator alone, but will inspect it for signs of corrosion. -- Max Dillon Charleston SC '87 300TD '95 E300
