Re: TB removal and then some!!!
Just leaving the radiator shop....not worth the time to get the condenser pressure tested....as he can only put 15 lbs of pressure on the unit...and the condenser has way more pressure pass through it....unless there was obvious staining on it....there probably is no major leak....and if there is a minute leak...he would not be able to determine that....so it looks like I may go with the replacement unit. He also advised against painting the fins on the condenser or oil cooler....as I was also thinking those thoughts myself...[emoji16]

Re: TB removal and then some!!!
Called a Automotive AC repair shop and they basically said the same thing....just blow some compressed air in the opening...leaning towards using the new unit....but still may attempt to clean the condenser out like I did the oil cooler as per Phil....

Re: TB removal and then some!!!
Well its been 2 years and going on 4 months since the 94 last ran. Since the 74 is now home and I'm in the process of getting the garage and basement reorganized, it is time to get ready to get the 94 running again.
Radiator, oil cooler and condenser are still out of the engine compartment. Still would like to do some additional cleaning before reinstalling everything. Also giving some thought to changing out the thermostat, since I have better access. Have to check my records and see if it was changed before. Also have Jerry's new oil cooler lines to install. And maybe thinking about back flushing the evaporator, maybe not. So when you have time to do things, you do the little things to, such as cleaning up the clamp that secures the AC line along the front rail. The cable or hose clamp had some corrosion inside of the rubber part and on the metal part as well. Some soaking, sanding and paint and rubber dressing makes them look good again. This particular clamp is hard to find, it appears that most of the parts houses don't stock this particular part # and some of the other places require a business account to purchase. They do make them in a number of sizes and I'm sure for those that need replacing, a close replacement can be used. Looking to have the Z running sometime this month. I do miss driving the 94, but with so much going on with my other projects, the time has and is flying by....[emoji16][emoji16] Pic #1 after cleaning Pic #2 before paint and rubber dressing Pic #3 clamp painted and hanging out to dry Pic #4 rubber dressing applied Pic #5 back together and ready for service Pic #6 just another view20200901_132931.jpg20200901_132948.jpg20200901_133827.jpg20200901_134302.jpg20200901_155102.jpg20200901_155106.jpg Sent from my SM-G981U using ZR-1 Net Registry mobile app

Glad your back on the board Tom and sharing some attention on the 94.
