Sounds like a spool. Maybe a Detroit locker rear. Did he say what brand he
used?

 

.... well I have a posi rear end in her now 

[Jim Thompson] 

Well this rear end I have  now is really FUNKY! ... When I try to go
backwards she acts like she just dont want to go, barely even goes and the
tires fight to turn and I have to push realy hard on the gas, the tires
wanna bounce. Any type of corner or any turn I make even as simple as
turning into my driveway or making a right hand turn down another street the
tires squell like Im doing a burn-out!! I can be going 5 - 10 - 15 miles an
hour and it does that. The tires also wanna "bounce"I am not happy with it
do not like it at all but dont know if this is what it is supposed to do or
if this IDIOT did something WRONG with it.... Is that normal!?? will it ever
STOP and GO AWAY!?? when I complained to him about it he tried to say that
is normal for the type of rear end he put in, that its tight and new and
needs to be worn in and loosen up........ok its been a MONTH and I drive my
car every day and I see NO CHANGE!!?? please tell me it is normal and will
go away!!!  I already am in process of taking this jerk to court because of
tall the work he DIDNT do and the MONEY he kept for parts NOT ordered and
put in my car!!

 

sad n depressed cuz my baby AINT done like expected!!!

Has anybody ever converted thier R12 to R134A?

I have this 62 Cadillac that has A/C. I thought it might be neat if the A/C
worked on it. I have to convert it over to 134A right? I'm assuming that
there is zero refrigerant in the system right now. I've done a little
research on it and it appears that besides vacuuming out any remaining R12,
I need to change the compressor oil? The compressor spins freely, and
smoothly. I have zero A/C experience. Do I need to change out anything else?


Thanks for your help!!!

change out all the seals to R-134 seals, replace the drier (maybe
Evaporator) and have the compressor vacuumed out and use R-134 oil back in
the compressor.....

When I replace the drier and evaporator...does it have to be one specific to
R134? Is there a difference?

I have had a couple of cars converted. Always done by my local Radiator
Hospital. The easiest way I think. If you have the tools you can do it
yourself. Check this site out.
