Subject: Re: GTV6 condenser
I put hydrocarbon refrigerant in my '82 GTV-6, and despite a horribly
mashed condenser with a major kink in the bottom pipe, my only
complaint is that all the cold air comes out in the middle of the
dash and freezes my right leg and/or right arm while the rest of the
cabin is generally warmer than I'd like. I just wish I had an
effective way to plumb in the outboard dash vents a la Tropic Air. I
also wish I had $250 to spend on a new condenser, although I'm not
entirely sure what I'd do with colder air, considering that I've
never turned the fan speed up all the way with the AC on since I
don't need to chill my right thigh anymore than it already is. I
suppose I should just aim the vents to the other side of the cabin,
but I sometimes have passengers who aren't interested in freezing a
leg off either, and yesterday, my passenger seat was stacked full of
luggage, so I figured blasting it with cold air might be a waste.
