For $2k that's a steal of a rare deal.
Looks like we'll have to keep an eye out for at least one center cap.Vic

No, it's been converted, haven't checked what type, but gonna put it on stands tomorrow. I am partial to KYBs monos. Never done an air ride job, but if it's not that crazy, add it to the list., so far:
1. Door lock actuator....thats it...and
does anyone have an tips on recharging the freon....ala those freeze cans?...its cold, but can tell its low. LAST THING I want is to have the AC go out. Any general care/ preventive mainappreciated. For the A/C would be greatly appreicated.Last edited by Grand1; 05-09-2023, 06:44 PM.

Well maybe before investing has anyone tried those single gauges that are part of a 134 single can dispenser?03 Marauder DPB, HS, 6disk, Organizer Mods> LED's in & Out, M&Z rear control arms, Oil deflector, U-Haul Trans Pan, Blue Fuzzy Dice

Wow sweet find. Definitely hard to say no to.
I used the quick charge 134a with the gauge supplied with can. It's okay for a quick charge but doesn't really tell you what's going on. You could give it a shot and see what happens. Look for the oily residue to see if you can find the leak.
At this point, it probably needs the o-rings replaced and a new accumulator just as a precaution.1990 Country Squire - under restoration

I wonder if the single gauge unit would keep one from overcharging the system?03 Marauder DPB, HS, 6disk, Organizer Mods> LED's in & Out, M&Z rear control arms, Oil deflector, U-Haul Trans Pan, Blue Fuzzy Dice

Definitely a sweet deal. Paint gleams, was certainly a garage kept vehicle. I'm the second owner of my car and it didn't come with a window sticker... Nice to see the 351 is still kicking around too.1985 LTD Crown Victoria - SOLD
