Douglas - can you share some details with me?  Who was the source of your drier? (name / e-mail?) Is there a brand name and/or a part number on it?  Any help is appreciated....

I second Richard M's recommendation of Classic Auto Air in Tampa. They were recommended to me by a very experienced "old car" guy & rebuilt a Fridgidare (GM) compressor for my '72 280SE 4.5 last summer. Still works fine. I think they can help with just about any AC problem you might have. AC for all these cars were made in the states during those years & I understand usually installed @ POE after arriving here from Germany.    -JP-
