I haven't converted any,but have added a product called Freeze-12. It works good & is compatible with R-12. You have to get it from an ac supplier!

I am still having trouble with the motor on my "90" brake system not starting all the time.I have to hit it to make it work.I replaced the accumulator & preasure switch & A also the relay.I am thinking about replacing the motor/pump unit! After pumping the brake 25 times (to relieve preasure) will there still be preasure in the hard steel curved line that goes around the accumulator ?

Does anyone have or know of a 1 barrel stock air cleaner to fit a Holly carb with the clamp,not a stud? The carb is 2 1/4" in the center,and it has about a 3/8 lip around it. THANKS.

Does anyone know if there is a nos or repro label identifing the ( up-down) & r(rt.-left) that surround the power window & power mirror switches. I have two 89s and can't read either one! THANKS!

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP !

Does anyone know who has the best matching interior spray '' tan '' ?

Thanks again for your input,and advice! I replaced the accumulator,with another one I had,and after doing the brake test again,I had 3/8 drop in fluid,and the motor didn't come on untill the third pump,and the red brake light didn't flash on when I touched the brake ( like it did before ) Took it for a test ride and everything worked as it should. THANKS AGAIN ! Now I will also replace the accumulator on my "89" which I now know is going bad. It has 230,000 miles on it and as far as I know it hasn't been replaced!

I just wanted to thank everyone for your helpfull sugestions! My brakes work fine now! I did all the tests ,also the older post from Barney about the accumulator test ( I had only a 1/4" drop in fluid ). It turned out to be something simple that didn't cost me anything! I took the relay off and sanded the blades with #600 sandpaper,and did the same to the wire socket. I put it back,and turned the key on,and it pumped up without any help!I did the pump-up test ( key on - motor off ) and I could hear the pump working each time I pushed the brake. I took it on a 25 mile test drive,and everything worked as it should! THANKS AGAIN !!!!!!

Thanks alot for your help! I will check your sugestions out. The 1990 has 102,000 miles on it - The reatta I drive the most,a 1989 has 230,000 miles on it!(still running great) average 27 mpg - got 35 mpg on one trip.

The brakes work most of the time,but when the red light comes on I have to stop and hit the pressure switch to get the motor to pump up the pressure! I replaced the pressure switch ( a used one ) about 2,000 miles ago,and it worked fine ( untill now ) I read the manual and it said the motor was not serviceable. I thought maybe the armature had a bad spot, and when I hit it I dont know if its in the switch,or motor? After I turn off the key and pump the brakes 25 times the motor still wont start pumping till I hit it. I have a 1989 Reatta also and if the light comes on it always works good after pumping 25 times ,and turning on the key! Any sugestions?
