*** Upon completion of Vintage Air Conditioning Installation, the Land Cruiser was taken to ACC (Atlanta Custom Creations our areas premier shop). They finished installing A/C hoses (a special tool is required) and charged the system.
Also, ACC did a “once over” on the entire vehicle to make sure nothing was overlooked in restoration process. They noticed the Exhaust manifold gasket was old, so gasket was replaced, and manifold powder coated. They suggested adding a NEW carburetor which was installed.
**I have been restoring Land Cruisers as a hobby the past 20 years. Toyota published a layout on me in Toyota Connections Magazine.
