My mistake above. I meant to say DOT 3 or DOT 4 for brake cylinder reservoirs. are they compatible, ie...not sure what is/was in there before. thanks, Tom

Thanks guys!! For the AC info!! I had always seen them on the passenger’s side. That new set-up looks great, wish the price was still ~$500! 3 in 1 oil it is!! Also, is Dexron-VI back compatible to Dexron II or III. For use in my brake cylinder reservoirs. Tom

Thanks! Now I just need to get it somewhere and get it checked out!! Thanks again for your thoughts and expertise!! Tom

Would Dexron VI be backward compatible? Or look for a Dexron III if they still make it, ie...Peak? thanks, Tom

Dennis-I agree, that is HUGE MONEY back then, heck it is big money now!! Still, why do you think they moved the compressor? What did they gain? They could of just exchanged the compressors. They had all the original Freon lines on the correct dealer installed side. thanks, Tom

Will give it a try!! Below are the receipts for the new AC! Looks to have a new YORK compressor BUT wondering why it was moved??? thanks to you ALL! Tom

Thanks Mark!! Tom

Thanks! This is such a great site with GREAT PEOPLE!! Tom

Mark-Tom here agin! Below is a pic I took, ie...first one is fluid out of the damper second is off my engine dip stick. Also. a quick question. My master brake cylinder reservoirs, the smaller reservoir is almost empty, can I use DOT 3 fluid in there and be on my way?? thanks again! Tom

Thanks jfa! Did message Cliff. You are definitely correct about H-Town!! Today it is BOILING!!! Is having the larger fuel pump OK? Also, do you put ATF or 20W in your carb dampers? Mine is low and cannot tell if ATF or oil. Doesn’t smell like oil? Thanks, Tom

Thanks again Mark!! Your insight and expertise is awesome!! Tom

Thanks Mark! Since It is the thickness, is it OK if I happen to mix the ATF with 20W oil? OR really need to make sure what is in there now and not possibly mix the two? thanks again!! Tom

Thanks guys!! Below are a couple pictures under the hood. The first one shows the passenger side area. I see the Freon hoses that jfa mentioned. Shouldn’t the compressor be in this area? The next one shows the upper pulleys. There is not a belt that engages either one of those upper pulleys??? Thanks again for all your help!! Tom

Thanks jfa!! Bingo on that being the freon tank. I need to look for the compressor?? They May have been taken it off?? It had been owned by the original seller for 46 years. Maybe that is why the missing belt?? Do you know where I could get an original/possibly NOS York compressor? Thanks again for your time and expertise!! Tom

Thanks again SteveJ!! Tom

Mark-Tom here again. When I was looking at the fluid in the dampers, it was kind of pink/purple?? Would that be ATF? did not look brownish like regular oil. I probably need to check again to make sure BUT if ATF, any thoughts on which ATF you would use? thanks again! Tom

SteveJ-Thanks for the reply and pics. Looks like I have the early master cylinder. So the smaller reservoir is for the disc brakes, ie...larger for the drums? I will have a mechanic check out the items you mentioned above. Would it be OK to go ahead and fill that reservoir? If so, do I use the DOT 3 fluid? thanks again SteveJ! Tom PS-What a GREAT FORUM!!!

Thanks Mark!! What a really great explanation! thanks for your time and expertise!! Tom

Good day, Tom here again. In looking in the engine bay, I see the lower belt attached to the lower pulleys, ie...for the fan?, BUT there are some pulleys at the top of the engine bay and they do not have a belt on them. This is a dealer installed AC car, when new in 1970, are those pulleys somehow involved with the AC? The AC system, I see the refrigerant lines going into a small looking black canister on the passenger side. Not sure if that would be the condenser. It is pretty small, ie...5 or 6 inches long and around 4 or so inches round. Thanks for your help! Tom

Good day everyone! On my Series 1 240Z, new to me. The smaller brake fluid reservoir is almost empty, ie...which I have read is for the disc brakes. Am I able just to fill that reservoir, with number 3 fluid, and then I am ready to go? The front, which I believe is for the drum brake, is full. thanks for the help! Tom

Yes, the carb oil. Thanks, I really appreciate the help!! Tom

Thanks!! Tom

Good day to everyone! Could someone tell me what the two engine dampers do, ie...their function and I checked the oil in there and it is low. What weight oil, 10W-20, would be the best? Also, would you add while the engine is on? Do not want to over fill and they are a little “funky”! Thanks, Tom
