    man it was a beech!

    I know whom ever designed my '86 Tudor never worked on a car

    To get to the blower motor resistor(with ACC) was a sob!............not only was the component locater wrong, but all the heater hoses, heater core and a sheet pot of wires were in the way.........broke the "tit" off of the connector, but hell that plug ain't never coming out again!.............so far so good..........a/c blows nice and steady........and with R134 she actually gets down to 40 degrees.........I am sorry I pulled the R-12 out of her..........still have 20 one pound cans from back in the day.

    these systems were big enough... r134a works pretty good.

      All I will say is that any job you think is difficult on one of these cars, add about 3x that annoyance for a Mark VII. The dashboard comes out to remove the blower speed controller module on those.

            fox bodies, especially ones with the auto climate control, are a bastard to work on.

              Indeed!..........that being said I am still on a quest to cure the rough early morning idle, and rough idle bad surge when the car is in drive stopped at a light..........I have done the following: removed the TB and cleaned it out, changed all spark plugs, removed the idle air control and cleaned it out, replaced the temp coolant sensor, changed the entire EEC computer, changed the EGR valve(after scan tool showed a code 33) and the attached sensor, the only thing I have not replaced is the manifold air temperature sensor. The thing is, once the car gets on the highway she goes beautiful, has tons of balls (relative to only 150 HP) never spits or breaks up under highway loads. Now its just pissing me off I can't find what the deal is, car has 84K miles........true........clock has not rolled around.
