well yesterday was the acid test...  115 degrees outside,  running my
wife around all afternoon and cool in the car!!!   eng temp never went
above 90-95 cent.  and vent air was 45 degree f best,  about 50+ worst.
all on max, all the time. i used freeze 12,  about 3 cans.   i found
out why i wasn't getting power to the a/c relay, it was the evap temp
reg not closing.  i jumpered it.  seems ok, any downside to this
action?  anyway, thanks for all your help and patience with me.  i have
owned these cars for a long time but just retired and decided to do
this stuff myself..  [with all your help,  not a possibility otherwise]
thanks again..  -gary
