66 427 a/c problem
Last year the a/c was cooling at 43 degrees at vent. This year the a\c is 56 vent degrees. When I stop the car and let it idle the temperature will get cooler. I turned the stv valve adjusting spring 1/2 turn clockwise, the vent temperature drove at 43 degrees. The next time I drove the a/c the temperature rose to 56 degrees. The same sequence happens time after time, cools at 56, turn the stv adjusting spring, the a/c cools at 43 degrees. Low side gauge reads 35 - high side is 170. Could the stv valve or the expansion valve needs replaced, or does my condenser need replaced? I need some good a/c advice? Thanks Dutch

Now start to slowly scroll down until you see the generation of your Corvette. 1966 Corvette? That's covered under the C1 & C2 Corvettes, 1953 - 1967 section:

Got a technical question about the 1966? Use the C1 & C2 Corvettes section:
