Looking for Good AC Work Around Macon-76 Caprice Classic Convertible

[unclemrbig]

I have a '75 Caprice Classic convertible with 50K miles that is original-down to paint and top. The ac has been converted over to R134 but needs service. I think the fill port off of the accumulator has a bad valve as I would see refrigerant oil bubble after a freon fill. Is there anyone around Macon that would take a look? I am in the process of putting it up for sale as my dad has a '67 442 convertible that I want to buy.

I tried Smith's and AutoAir and they both said no go to working on older car. Thanks!

Smith’s on log cabin in Macon used to be the best. Haven’t been there in years but they’ve worked on several vehicles for me in the past.

I did-nothing close at all as of last night. Thanks for the tip and I will continue to monitor.

Me, too. They said they don't work on anything earlier than 1980.

Auto air in Macon, off of 247 by smileys. Or Pro Automotive, ask for Ashley.

I do my own fills. It's pretty easy to do if the system is empty already, as this one should be since you have a leak. After replacing the valve, the only other thing different you'd need to do before filling the freon is to add compressor oil after you pull a vacuum. If you can't get anyone to do it, and don't mind driving to Waverly Hall, I've got a set of manifold gauges and can help you out.

Here you go. The 67 and 75.
