[DeTomaso] CONDENSER UPGRADE - PHOTOS

[Mark Tumbarello]

I wouldn't worry so much about the factory specs. Fill until the bubbles 
clear in the sight glass and the low pressure stays within 25-40 psi and 
make sure your high pressure side stays within 2-2.5x the ambient air temp. 
If your numbers are off you have other problems to fix. Good luck, Mark

>Larry, I was looking at theses units and the site specifies not for primary
