On a side note I did get me one of these...FINALLY!

S-10 relay bracket

Now I can finally mount my Volvo relay set correctly and get all my relays in one location.

I cheated getting the bracket tho, I got it off ebay
I just haven't had the time lately to go to any yards, that and its been too damn cold. Oh well, $12 free shipping, not too bad to have one delivered to my door.

What year S-10's use that bracket?

Sorry about the double post. I tried to edit the 1 above, and it quoted instead. Any idea where the delete post button is?

I'm not really sure, probably a wide range. Just check all the s-10's and blazers you find when your at the yard, they are on the firewall.

Thank You. This is the only site I didn't have access to delete my own post (extra or otherwise).
1lowcab, thanks for the info on the bracket. I'll have to take a look at the S-15 I have in the yard, since it'll be going to scrap later this year, after I pull the engine and everything else I want off it.

AC repair done! Went smooth and fast with no problems.
The old orifice tube looked good when I replaced it, I replaced all the o-rings on the connections I opened and I replaced the ac switches (the one on the accumulator and back of compressor).

Parts removed

New parts in

Bring on summer!!!!!!

Nice job. All charged up too?

[1lowcab]

Yup, vacuumed down and charged up, It's blowing ice cubes!

It was 71 out when I finished, I turned the heat on in the garage, closed all the doors and brought it up to 90 degrees....the van was putting out 38 degrees at the vents.

Nice LED back up lights, do you remember where you found them and part number etc? Awesome job on everything.. I am getting educated on doing a V8 swap now. UGH

It is possible he will remember - but he sold the van about 18 mos. ago.
