Hi Ray, I know your pain. It took me two years to get mine running right. Here are some links to web pages that explain a lot about what is going on in your AC system: <A HREF="http://www.delanet.com/~pparish/gen-rp.htm#oilrem">General Retrofit Procedures</A> <A HREF="http://www.delanet.com/~pparish/flushing.htm">Flushing Automotive Air Conditioning Systems</A> <A HREF="http://aircondition.com/wwwboard/equipment/current/3185.html">Re: BASIC AC CHARGING</A> If you need some basic parts, the guys at AMA are great. They were a huge help to me, maybe over the phone they can help. <A HREF="http://www.ackits.com/index.htm">AMA Inc. Automotive AirConditioning Specialist.</A> Also, if your hoses go bad, NAPA can make new hoses with your old fittings for around $50. Cheap. Feel free to write back with any questions.
