[DML] Bill Robertson is a genius! AC retrofit success!

["Palatinus, Joe" <jopalatinus@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I finally decided to go for R 134a retrofitting.  I believe I had a very slow leak in the system while running R12 (shops could not detect one) but my compressor would begin to cycle rapidly and cooling would be unacceptable.  I bought a new compressor from John Hervey at PF, and I followed Bill Robertson's retrofititng instructions on the DMC NEWs tech page.  They are simply brilliant, especially for those of us with out  vaccuum pump capable of pulling a good vaccuum on the system. (bill's method uses engine vaccuum to suck on the system.  I now have air just as cold as my other delorean's R12 system, and the compressor does not cycle nearly as much as it did before.  I also bought R 134a at walmart for 3.62/can, this is a good deal if anyone else needs any.
Anyway, My air is cool now, and that is what matters.
