Default Re: 1955 Ford Ranch Wagon/ Vintage Air Question?

One other thing, use a trinary switch. The two wires still watch the Freon level (too low the compressor never turns on), the third wire is head pressure. While running down the road there is no need to run the electric fan. The head pressure is hooked to a relay to turn the fan on when running the AC before engine temp would turn the fan on or in stop and go traffic. There is an outfit that sells an electric fan/shroud assembly (puller) that I have used. It keeps my street rod cool (195) even in the hot AL summer days. Copper core radiator/195 T-stat.


Forgot, Vintage will loan/sell you and empty case, the style you might want to purchase, that makes fitting and fabricating brackets so simple! Used one doing my Ranchero.
