[DeTomaso] CONDENSER UPGRADE SUGGESTIONS?

[B. Seib]

And on the subject of the fan and motor, it appears stock is still best!

I know that goes against all the Panterathink wisdom, but this was posted
here just a few days ago:

Subject: Re: [DeTomaso] a/c condenser fan motor


I tried three different fans while trying to improve my AC.  The test is to
see how many sheets of newspaper the fan will hold against the back grill
while running.  I bought the "high speed" fan from a vendor, a high-dollar
SPAL from another source, and the original stock fan still had more pull.

Your results may vary.

Well, the AC didn't work on the Vegas trip and today was the day to
troubleshoot. Hooked up my gauges and no pressure on either side - not
a good sign, eh?

Grabbed
one of my $20 cans of R12 and my side tap fitting and fed it in, engine
running, to find the leak. Went to grab my electronic sniffer, but then
I saw the foaming oil mess pouring out of the condenser.

So, I need a new condenser.  Seems like the perfect time to upgrade the
condenser and fan, right?

A
little fabrication doesn't bother me at all, though I do want to try to
keep my hoses and will NOT switch from R12. And I'm keeping it in the
stock location.

So, who has done what or bought what from whom?? I'm thinking in terms of a
parallel flow aluminum condenser and new, flat motor fan(s).
