[DeTomaso] Airflow test #2

[Matt]

Well Jack science marches on. As noted in my reply to Rich I'll be trying it with the condensor and fan in next. No conclusions yet but I hope to find out exactly what's going on back there with visual proof.

I don't recall the specific article Jack but at that time I might have skipped over it and I've got issues spread out everywhere unfortunately.
An adjustable limiter switch would be better in what ways? I'm sure it's explained in the article I can't find!

I know they are in the process of putting Profiles issues online on the POCA website. Are the newsletters with all that valuable technical information going to be available online soon? I would hope so. 
The mailed newsletters are great for the bathroom but it's a shame not to have that info at your fingertips as well when you need it.
The site looks great BTW and I appreciate all the time and maintenance put into it ;-) Thanks!
I'm curious...how did you test the car standing still? Big ass fans?

  REALLY interesting; maybe Ford & DeTomaso were wrong all this time? 
  Second note; we all tested A/C air flows with the car standing still, and guessed at what was going on back there. Both our tests were more direct but the results were also confusing to me, anyway.
  #3- Chaotic airflow? Boy, yes!

  I still think that avoiding the actual and potential problems of the stock rear mount is simplest with a big radiator and a front-mount condenser, and have not found any negatives to the front placement except the labor needed to do the move. And adding a pressure limiter switch. Did you see the article I wrote last year in the POCA News on using a Ford A/C limiter switch that's adjustable for shut-down pressure?
