    A/C questions

    original red cloth covered hose has a braided metal jacket beneath. Yes, they are hard. I suggest you make sure the fan works first. You can jump it. Or just find the ground wire that goes back to the round relay can screwed to the firewall down by the compressor. Make sure that can is tight...

    early cs color. Also one year 85 or 86, 635 special order. ( handful of cars if that many, legend says 1) Shows up on the paint color charts. Arkisblau, 059 paint code IIRC Close to Baikal, ever slightly greyer to my eye when side by side. It's been discussed before here.

    2800cs intermittent cylinder 5

    Zenith choke operation: Why heated only above 63 degrees? (Jerry you out there...?)
