re: [alfa] GTV6 2.5 vs 3.0 and AC equip

[doug sedon <sedond@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi jay,  

i think anyone would pay more for a 3.0 gtwe6 vs a
2.5, unless they were looking for a never-titled
showroom wehicle w/100 miles or so on it.  the 3.0 ecu
can be installed w/o doing the whole wiring harness,
but not the sparkbox.

re: a/c, go see dion monroe over at the lube center+
at the end of the golden mile, next to rice tires &
meineke.  he moonlites, & does reasonable a/c work. 
tell him the weirdo w/the alfa's & pantera recommended
him.  ;~)  he may also have ideas for a decent diy
set-up.  re: 134a, i'd recommend this instead:

======================================================
<<<Now that the GTV6 is rapidly becoming a 25 year old
classic,  I need to
figure out which way to go with Tazio, the 1983 2.5
litre, 3.4 ratioed
GTV6.  Tazio lost his original leather interior some
time ago,  with a
set of Verde Recaros and the rear seat cushion
removed, with just a
carpeted area in place.  I still  have the original
seats.  Other than
that, very few modifications at all.  But,  I have a
spare 3.0 Verde
motor now and the wiring harness to go with it.  

I am inclined to swap in the 3.0 and its harness.  But
doesn't this
lower the value of the car, quite a bit.  Sure,  its
going to be much
quicker and pleasant to drive,  but one day, Tazio
will be moved on 
down
the road to another owner.  I doubt I would want to
replace the 
original
wiring harness, though replacing the original 2.5
motor would not be
difficult.

And,  with more cars needing AC work,  I wonder if
anyone might suggest
some AC equip to pull a vacuum on the system once its
repaired and
bolted up.  I would most likely work with R134A gas,
but would welcome
other suggestions as well.>>>
