    I plan to investigate more once I pull the FE from its home. Have more dance floor to work with. From childhood memories though, GM seemed to have WAY better A/C than Ford. Haven't given up on it... Yet. I have done nothing from the firewall to the dash vents. Could just be a dirty evap coil...

    Lincoln SA-200 or Mig?

    I'm with Bert. I have a gas DC 225A and electric AC/DC stick machines. Haven't had a job that they couldn't do. Even sheet metal can be welded with 6013 rod. I am probably going to buy a 180A class MIG when I start to do body work on my project truck. CT
