    My 90 has 13k miles and because of the number of cars I have in the collection some times these cars sit awhile and it scares me of the problems that can develop. Battery tender multi head units take care of the collection and they work well. Fired the Tr up and it ran as good or better than it ever has. Really enjoyed the drive and performance. The only TR I have owned that shifts to second perfectly when cold. Cold A/C and a very smooth ride! Still love these cars.

    60 is awfully good! My system is pretty new or a couple of months old since the dash had to be taken apart and all the necessary dryer, etc replaced and charged with R12 and it feels super cold. I will check the temp and let you know. Hard to beat 60 at the vents on 98 degree day.

    Actually, come to think of it, the evaporator should be around 40 degrees which puts the air at the vent around 45-50 degrees. I did not charge it but the tech told me. I will look at it again. The gauge low side head pressure corresponds to a evaporator temp and it is surprisingly close. If you are the one charging then what it is reading on the gauge will be very close to outlet air temp. Mine is pleasantly cold so it may be closer to 50. I will check. The TR blows air pretty hard for the year model. Fan speed is really good. Most cars that age don't have a step up relay to kick the fan speed up on max.
