Techno Question: AC system dryer insulation
Or you can just avoid the concern of engine bay heat while cleaning up the engine bay appearance by locating the drier in this manner inside the RR wheel well. Larry Sent from me using a magic, handheld electronic gizmo.
What kind of drier is that with an electrical plug in it?

Dear Larry, I believe that is a safety switch that cuts off the compressor if the system pressure is too high (above 400 psi) or too low (less than 28 psi). Many driers have an M10 x 1.25 threaded fitting for the above mentioned safety switch.

Dear Larry, Right. My other Pantera has that modification. On my first attempt at DIY Pantera AC work, I decided to keep the same arrangement. Obviously, the rear right fender well works. Given my net surfing on AC drier insulation vs. no insulation, I found some AC authorities mentioning the same qualitative benefits with no quantification. I found one Ford truck gearhead discussion where one poster mentioned that he had "heard" an insulated drier was good for 3-5 degrees cooler air at the vents. I have found some Ford (!) insulation for the drier and I will press on.
