I have also seen capillary tubes taped on low side tube surface and heard them working. Factory material shows that they originally go inside thermowell immersion to avoid engine temperature to mess things up. Judging by the video, I suspect there is no possibility to get two capillary tubes...

Pulling the seat out will make it easier to take the door card off.

It wipes off. I can post pics later this weekend.

What pressures are you seeing when the system is on, windows down and set for full cold and max A/C? Also, report the register (interior vents) temperature.

I hear you on that water pump. I'm just grasping for straws. I've put about five six once cans in. But I had a leak initially. I'm not sure how much leaked out. Currently, I'm just going by the gauge pressure. Per the low side gauge, I'm at 50psi @95F. I would guess I'm overcharged but the last...

Did you feel like you were in a Mannix episode? I know, I know, this is a 1970 300 convertible, not a 1971 300 hardtop.

Bolt that baby on and see what happens. If they are loose there's a good chance it isn't locking up when needed.

Yes, it's got a clutch fan and a fan shroud. I currently, have the a new clutch in hand. The old one was working but a it's action was a little too loose for my taste.

Don't feel alone @Snotty as I hadn't heard of it ever before either and actually I was kind of shocked that it felt like a different State - it is something like 1-1/2 hour drive for me and it was wide open plains and no traffic at all and gorgeous mountain views in the distance. Overall it...

UPDATE: I've since done a few things that has gotten my charging system working. A. Replaced the voltage regulator. B. Bought a new coil. It's an E type coil. Specifically, a PerTronix 60115 Flame-Thrower HV Coil 60,000 Volt E-Core 1.5 ohm The ignition is now working just fine.

What's funny about all of these, they were forbidden by the USAAF! When did they lose control??? :rolleyes:

Have fun! The exhaust on my Cordoba remained single, but John Clay of Bakersfield did a great job!

I walked right into him at the Famoso Hot Rod Reunion one year. We both were looking at cars in the display area while walking at the same time. Ha!

Lived in California for my entire life, except for two years in Nevada. I've never heard of Nuevo. Had to look it up.

Thank you @saforwardlook for all there informative posts, and for telling us about your own CS23T1C179340

"Hi-flow" pumps are touted (by their sellers) as a cure for overheating. More flow MUST be better? Consider, there is an optimal window of flow rates where the coolant will successfully absorb heat from the engine, then move that heat to the radiator, and cycle repeat. Within the water...

Join me in welcoming @Bruce1966 to FCBO.

Don't forget to yank the freeze plugs and get into the water jackets with a poker and a screwdriver and flush out / remove all the crud you can. Are the heads on that 440 in good shape?

What is this lower left corner? Runs from bottom to almost window crank?

With the a/c 6-blade water pump, the drive ratio also increases to move about the same amount of water as the 8-blade non-a/c pump does at the lower drive ratio that pulley set has. Is the system charged to about 90% of the R-12 charge level with R-134a? Is the "lesser cooling" happening...
