What temperature rise should i expect when i turn the AC on?
74 Plymouth Duster with Factory AC stuff inside and 86ish Dodge truck components undrrhood. Only other thing worthy of note is a nice big aftermarket cross flow condensor infront of the factory 26" rad recored to 3 core.
When driving around with the AC off, it warms to 165 on my good Autometer electric temp gauge and stays there in all conditions. Even idling in traffic at 95°f outside temp.
When driving around with the AC on it creeps up to 195 and stays there in all conditions.
My question is, is this an acceptable temperature rise for an AC system? The car will be very cool inside even with no tinted glass anywhere at that hot of temperature.
Please share your experience on this matter.
