Reply to "Re-hashing R134 conversion"

" All you need to do in a properly functioning system is change from R12 to R134. Period."

Not True... the expansion valve is different, the filter drier is different, the seals in the compressor are different, the evap and cond coils should be larger ( but you might get away because a Panter interior is small) the composition of the hoses are different in pressure and material, etc ...

It might work but your not getting max efficiency out fo the system ... I would venture to say ...an entirely new compressor and system might even be less drag off the engine.

Personally I would update the entire system ... my 79 all it needed was gas R-12.

My 2 cents ...
