Do you remember who you got the condenser and expansion valve from and the
part numbers.

Subject: [DeTomaso] Restatement of condensor upgrade

As it has been stated it is not the thicknss of the condensor but a
function of surface area and number of cooling tubes.

I dumped the stock condensor piece of trash and got an aftermarket
condensor appx. 25% thicker with Double the number of cooling tubes so
Appx. double the capacity of stock.I then had to extend the shroud to the
body and seal it to eliminate the shroud to body leak. I also converted to
R134 with a rotary commpressor and used barrier hoses. I used a new
expansion valve with the superheat calibrated for R134. I get freezing
vent temps.
