Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 308 A/C repairs

[Charles Perry (charles]

Matt -

I know Karl (List member and my local resource) had done this to a bunch
of 308s. At one time he was thinking about doing a kit for it. I don't
know if he's still on this list, so I'm copying him on this e-mail, or
you can call him at 843-747-1342.

If anyone has the specifics on this upgrade or any other upgrade on the
system, please post to the list, it would be of particular interest.  It
might be on f-chat, I havne't looked.  My compressor has a leak around
the shaft so I plan to replace instead of rebuilding someday, although
I'm in no big rush.

The system sucks more than it blows, and if there's an improvement I'll
be interested.
