Dear Volks,


I converted my '84 GL a couple of years ago.  I live in hot and
steamy SE Alabama.  The system worked quite well with R134a, until
the compressor fittings worked loose.  I've never been able to keep
those fittings tight.  I've tried Loctite as well.  It seems that
engine motion is bound to work the fittings loose.  This is an annual
problem for me, not a fault of the R134a.


It's been a really hot summer here, so I'm thinking about trying
again.  It takes 3 lbs. of R134a.


Sincerely,


John Hung
