Did it help get colder ac? hhott71 Aug 27th, 07, 06:48 AM I will replace a nonworking POA today on a 68 impala wagon. I bet it gets colder than it does now. 67sprtcp Aug 27th, 07, 08:05 AM Let me know how it works. hhott71 Aug 28th, 07, 10:16 AM I know I wish I was making them. $15-$20 in parts that sell for $95. I don't care for the clutch cycling that the POA eliminator uses. I'd prefer a thermostat. It does work though. Youi COULD remove the innards of the stock POA valve and add either a Clutch cycling switch from an 80's-90's GM AC system on the R12 fill fitting and add a R134a fill splice in the #12 suction hose. OR Clear out the guts of the POA, renove the R12 schrader valve, screw on the R134a fill fitting, and add a Thermostat to the evaporator. the thermocouple needs to fit in the Evap fins. Its an easy install too. Either way would run about $40 Any way the wagon does blow 38* air on High fan. 67sprtcp Aug 28th, 07, 08:28 PM Not bad. I am waiting for mine to arrive. Cant wait to put it on. 67sprtcp Aug 30th, 07, 06:15 PM Got the POA update kit from year one (could have saved about $30.00 direct from old air products) just need time to evacuate the system and install it . Maybe this weekend. |
