Re: my 134a conversion begins...

["dmcman82" <dmcman73@xxxx>]

1. Check the price on R20 (or is it 22?), it's the freon used in 
home A/C's, I believe it is cheaper than R134a...if so use this to 
try and find your leak, then after you have, evacuate the system of 
it.

2. The A/C dryer is the evaporator and yes this needs to be changed 
especially since your system was left open (broken A/C line).

3. See if you can get a hold of an automatic adjustig oriface tube. 
>From what I have read it's suppose to be a lot better in an R134a, 
getting it colder.

4. I would only change it if it's bad, otherwise if it's cheap 
enough to have made change it.

5. Again, I would only change it if it's bad, otherwise if it's 
cheap enough to have made change it.
