Ur-q A/C repair

[Arryn Milne]

Gary, et. al.,
         I'm in the process of converting my '86 5k to R-134a, and thought 
I'd pass something on.  I haven't had a chance to see if it meets claims 
yet (hopefully I will in the coming week), but others may be interested in 
a replacement for you FOV (Fixed Orifice Valve).  The VOV (Variable Orifice 
Valve) is designed to be a drop-in replacement for your FOV, and is 
designed by one of those responsible for the FOV.

I have zero affiliation with this thing, and paid regular retail like any 
other schmo.

Have a look, see what you think:

If anyone is interested, I'll get some center vent temps and post them for 
comparisons sake.

Later,
Arryn
