[DML] YET another a/c thread!

["at88mph" <at88mph@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Welp,  I finally got the a/c compressor/accumulator/orifice tube installed today along with some R12.  The system was throughly vacuumed and checked fine (no leaks).  The temp today in Mobile, Al  was roughly 85 degrees and at idle, the gauges were reading 40 and 235.  However, at idle the best I could get it down to was around 68 degrees with the ac set to 'max' and speed 4.  The compressor is running constantly and the cooling fans are running and have been checked to make sure they're running in the right direction.  The accumulator is dripping sweat like crazy.  Any thoughts on why I'm only getting down to 68 degrees?  I talked with Stephen a few weeks ago and he had a car out in Houston in the same conditions and said he was getting around 35 degrees inside the car! 

Thanks for any help or ideas!

Duke
