Hi Mike,
Took me 6 months to find all the parts for my factory AC for my 6. Five
states from east coast to west coast and just 3 years later found the dash
vents on ebay. Being I will be down there shortly, I better consider the
pusher for my car. Cost is salty by the time you get it all together. The
ones I have seen are usually incomplete. In addition, several of the old
parts you will need to replace like the dryer. $45. So the new parts cause
it to go up additionally. There are a few that suggest changing out the
compressor with a Honda, or Toyota one from a junk yard. More efficient and
lighter, smaller. I kept mine. I could not find an after market one or
anyone that wanted to consider a setup for the 6.

Subject: Radiator Question
> If you decide that the radiator is the problem you can take your old one
to most any competent radiator shop and get it rebuilt. The shop down here
did it for about $180 6 or 7 years ago though I hear it's around $250+ now.
You can't tell the difference looks wise from the original. They use the
top and bottom of our old radiator and put in new high performance fins that
are suposed to dissipate heat better. I'm not sure but I think they put in
an extra row of whatever you call that stuff with the fins on it making it a
3 row instead of 2 or a 4 row instead of 3. Whatever it was they did it
works great and my gauge is usually less than 1/2. I also have an electric
thermostatically controlled pusher fan on mine which no doubt keeps the temp
around 1/2 when I'm in traffic jams in the summer here in Florida. I'm
thinking AC is the next thing on my list. Anybody have any suggestions?
