Thanks Chris, I may just try that out.

Thanks Stephen, My system as a knob above the radio that turns on the system low,med, high (it its numbered 1-4) Then there is another switch on the drivers side of the consol that has a toggle switch to move from cool to heat and a knob that you can turn (I am guessing to increase or decrease the temp.) When I turn this knob a little clockwise the compressor cycles off right away. To answer your question, I don't know what type of thermostat is on there. Do I have to remove the housing around the evaporator to find out?

Anyone have a suggestion? Is there one available, or a substitute for this part?

Well, we ran the black light over the system this morning after charging and couldn't find any indication of a leak. The compressor shuts down prematurely when I adjust the temp. switch. This leads me to believe that it may be a faulty AC thermostat. Anyone know where I can pick one up? Or is there a substitute available. I have been all over the www. and don't find anything. It is hot here in Miami, but I was in Niagra Falls last May and that is definitely weather I would not miss.

My '72 240Z with factory air has decided that I don't need the comforts of AC during the 5 months of summer here in Miami, FL. I discovered a leak at the evaporator after running a black light over the system. I have seen some products advertised that claim to stop leaks. Has anyone used these with any success? I don't mind trying as it has been difficult to find a replacement part. What are my alternatives in this case?

Marty, That's the one. Maybe I was lucky, but the description was accurate and there quite a few photos. When I got the car the battery was dead, but it started right up with a jump. I had the carbs cleaned, new plugs, a hi performance muffler installed and it runs like a champ. 147K miles I would like to get all the dings out and repaint it....persimmon orange of course!.. but I can't bare to let it out of my sight right now. Maybe in a few years.

That doesn't address the fact that no matter what, in the end it is an UGLY car and will never change. You probably like fat, ugly chicks too.

I think only the radio is non-stock.

The dash alone is worth $400. If you don't want it let me know how to get in touch with the guy. I'll buy it tomorrow.

BUY IT....NOW!!

I have an extra strut that came with my car when I purchased it. I don't know if it works or not. ???

Sell the SHO if you have to, it will never be the equal of an early Z. The clutch problem is most likely a leak in one of the lines. You need to replace both the master and slave cylinders. Not a big deal. The early Z's are going to shoot up in value real soon. Forget about the SHO. It's UGLY!!
