Colony Park V8-302 5.0L VIN F FI (1985)
NOTE: When replacing an evaporator core in a refrigerant system that contains a six cylinder aluminum compressor, a measured quantity of 500
viscosity refrigerant oil should be added to the core to assure that the total oil charge in the system is correct before the system is operated. Three fluid
ounces of clean refrigerant oil should be poured directly into the inlet pipe of the replacement core with the pipe held vertically so the oil will drain into
the core.
1. Attach the suction accumulator/drier to the evaporator core mounting bracket with a retaining screw.
2. Install a new O-ring lubricated with clean refrigerant oil and connect the accumulator/drier inlet connection to the outlet tube of the evaporator
core and tighten using a back-up wrench to prevent component damage.
3. Position the evaporator core assembly to the right half of the evaporator case.
4. Apply caulking cord or similar sealer to the case flange and around the evaporator core tubes.
5. Position the evaporator case left half and dash panel gasket to the case right half.
6. Install support strap on evaporator inlet tube.
7. Install seven screws to attach the two halves of the case together. The center screw on the front of the case also attaches the support strap.
8. Install six screws to attach the dash panel gasket to the case right half.
9. Install a new heat shield on the bottom of the evaporator case assembly and install the evaporator case in the vehicle.
