The A/C works!

First trial run today on our first 80+ degree day.. It is working and seems good.

Even though the system was power flushed and I now have a six bladed fan, the engine ran hot in traffic. Needle normally comes up to 10:30 or so and sits there; got to 12:00 and seemed to not like being so hot, although nothing boiled out, Interestingly, turned the electric fan on for six-seven minutes with plenty of noise but no gauge results.

We will be adding an automatic switch for the fan. They are now saying it needs to be on when the air is on. Seems possibly excessive....

One important note: Don't want any exhaust gas in the cabin when it it is closed. I had the mechanic install new tubing on the vents on both sides. It is held on securely by industrial strapping, Don't want any exhaust in a closed cabin.....

I had previously replaced the bellows on all the foot pedals.
