I googled "Artic-Kar" and I get a company out of Puerto Rico. Is that where you got the kit from?
Looks nice. I'm green with envy (Well, more like I'm red faced, sweating and panting with envy). I haven't driven the Stude in over a week due to the triple digit heat wave we've been having.'63 Lark Custom, 259 v8, auto, child seat

Not a kit. Accumulated parts over time.
The Artic-Kar evap came from Ebay, reported to have been removed from a Lark.
Bought the Sanden 508 from a friend in a box of parts, hoses and fittings. It had been unused but was prepped for R12 and accepts flared fittings; a minor issue.
Followed instructions by Ray Lin. Compressor fits on the standard generator bracket and fabricated bracket and adjuster for the Worldwide 14824 alternator, a remanned Bosch unit.
Condensor and drier with trinary switch came from Vintage.
The trinary triggers a pusher fan, as well as protecting the high and low pressure.
I still need to do some tweaking, as the engine temp still seems to run on the warm side. Will change thermostat before investing in an aluminum radiator. Just thrilled to get this far.
Belt clearance to bottom hose is 3/4" horizontal and 3" vertical.
I suspect Artic-Kar in Puerto Rico has little to do with the evaporator I bought.Last edited by rockne10; 07-01-2012, 04:58 PM.Brad Johnson,
