Will an 94-95 AC Accumulator fit a 90 SC I know I will need to run R134A thats ok with me.
Thanks
Thanks
Oh. Wondered about that.. Anything other than length? Can a good tug on the line get it to mate up?... I'll give it a try as I've got spare lines to work with.. In fact, I want to cut the Otube out and splice in a VOV just to see how it works out.. To be honest, I've not been impressed with r134a performance over the past few years. That was with new everything: compressor, fittings, condenser (small tube design), evap, accumulator, switch, Orings, liq line, PAG oil, vaccuum and charge. Works good-nuff, but not as well as the r12 did. I'm hoping to get better performance when I refit my other car(s).The suction hose that connects to the accumulator is different on pre 93 cars than 94-95 cars.You should use a pre 93 accumulator and the appropriate retrofit fittings for both the low and high side service ports.All new accumulators are compatable with R134A, be sure to use the green Nitrile O-rings through the entire system. Old style pressure switch works fine.

Which Otube do you suggest on the SC with the small tube condenser (not the original R12 big tube split path condenser).. We're talking Texas heat in a month or so which averages 95+. Also, have 32oz of r134 installed 5 years ago. Works out to be the suggested 80% of the original r12 which was 40oz (on the sticker under the hood).As i remember the line from the accumulator is completely different size and angle and all. You would the late model compressor line assembly to make it work. I ordered a line assembly for my 94 and they sent me one for a 93 it was not even close. Save yourself the grief and use early parts. As far as R134A goes A properly retrofitted R12 system will get as cold as an original one.This includes a properly working compressor ,condensor, orfice tube,properly measured refrigerant charge and maintaing proper pressures. On some cars additional mods are required such as an auxilary condensor fan. I am an ASE certified A/C tech and have always had great results retrofitting Fords over the last 13 years or so. But you cant short cut anything or performance will suffer. Good Luck
