I bought from Delcity but Waytek is a good source as well. There are a lot of other places. The Amphenol AT series mate directly to Duetsch DT series connectors also. They take a $40 crimper made for the pins and sockets to properly crimp.

Working on the rest being as neatly done. A/C is in and vac pulled last night. Pulled 28inches almost immediately and zero bleed off even after all night. Guess those braided lines and reusable hose ends work pretty well. I've heard all kinds of horror stories about them but so far ,so good. I'll see after it gets charged if there's any issue.

Depends on the braided line. I have used the teflon stuff before with good results. One truck is going on 15yrs and still working fine. Usually the condensers get fubared before the lines go. They were not meant to take that kind of abuse.........

Yep,SFAIK the teflon lined is the only kind for AC use. I'd agree the condenser is a weak spot.

Well,it appears I did the wiring with no fubar moments. The thing has all the circuits working,and the starter cranks it. Hell,I might fire this thing up this week. Brake lines are all ran,time to bleed.

Well you still have time to change your mind and bring it to Idaho. The wind blows and the sand is super smooth.

I wish but,it isn't likely to happen this fall. Too many irons in the fire.  It might hit LS though.

I sure hope so!  Otherwise it's like the mythical unicorn, talked about and seen pics but never in person. Lol
Stay steady and out of the house work y'all make it.
