[DeTomaso] A/C Condenser Replacement

[jderyke at aol.com]

Modern AC condensers are thinner- the result of a few decades of development. Factory radiators in modern cars are also thinner for the same reasons. So don't worry that the cooling you get will be less because of that. Just choose one thats more-or-less the same length & width as stock if you're going to leave it in back, inside the stock fan shroud. Be prepared to change to modern hoses, too. Good luck- J Deryke

  I'm thinking about replacing my "factory" 4-row A/C condenser core
  since my compressor blew putting 'gasket' pieces throughout the system
  (fortunately no metal filings). I'm replacing the Billett compressor
  with the same SD-7 model, new drier, new expansion valve, and flushing
  the rest of the system. When I was flushing the condenser, it appears
  that most of the stuff was in there.  I'm thinking I may be better off
  with a replacement, but the newer condensers are much thinner (if I can
  even find the right size - 17x11 at all). Is anyone using these newer,
  thinner condensers, do they work better, and where did you get it?
  Thanks!
