D-A-W-G,

Did you "burp" the cooling system when you installed (or had done) the engine thermostat? Maybe you have air lock fucking things up. It would seem that you have covered every conceivable option... and I would bet the solution is more obvious than you think!

What about the water pump? Functioning properly? Does the upper hose get hard when the car is up to temp?

Before I purchased a new Sanden 709 compressor and converted to r134, every time I used the a/c the car would over heat. Problem... bad compressor... and the reason for the new one and the conversion from r12. Just a thought.

I just put a condersor fan on yesterday, now my a/c makes hard nipples! I also plan to ditch that crappy mechancial fan. I sincerely doubt the fan set up is your problem -outside of the probe sytle thermo. Bad choice on that one, my friend. First, upgrade to an in line thermo. Cheap & easy. Then procede further. As always post back if you have any new information. I will relay your drama to my gearhead friends and get their response.

Peace Out, Jon
