[V8] (no subject)

[Miller, Chris]

Does Pep Boys list the V8, or did you just find one the appropriate size
and with proper fittings?  If so, what's the Pep Boys part number?

Last week my compressor went bad, so I got a rebuilt off ebay (a $150
die-roll), spent the $22 for a receiver dryer from pep boys, a buddy had
the r134 adapter and the oil, and charged 'er up w/ r134.   Blows nice
and cold... No complaints, and I'm won't go into panic mode every time I
might have to r&r an a/c part.
