looks like its time to buy a new set of gauges, I have my dad's however they still have R12 connections

I have an old fridge at my shop, its a 50's era Westinghouse, uses ammonia to cool, some of the coldest beer I have ever drank came out of that thing

Adding. Get a receiver/ drier too. We will have to flush it a little but I will supply that and you pay me for the materials.

I thought you couldn't buy R12 without a license since the switch over to 134.....

Mostly true. I see it on Craigslist often. You can also find it on eBay.

.

makes me think your on to something.. now next question.... how do you burp the tranny?? let me rephrase that how do you burp the Transmission??
as for the foils i was thinking of using the hose to spray from the inside out.. to see if anything is in it. or should i wait till dark and shine a light threw them?

When i had the motor out i done my best at flushing the rad out...

Did you replace the waterpump with the rebuild?

When the engine originally went, was overheating a part of the problem, ie..did it overheat with it's dying?

The connections i went over a few times just to make sure they were good.

idk. they just dont sound correct. well figure it out i guess.

love being a homeowner. I get to do this in the very near future..
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/level...el-a-yard.html

I have a drainage runoff running through the middle of the yard, gonna fill it in and level it off. Gonna either use gravel or recycled concrete.
