Should I vacuum the system and then let air back in?
Air is not allowed. That goes double for systems with highly flammable

That's probably because they want you to charge liquid with the dye.
If you boil the propane out of the can, it likely won't carry all the dye into
the system. If you have a can with dye in it, charge with the undyed

Yes it does say that but it also says that you can charge into a
10 vacuum. Then again if you get the newer Industrial ES-12a it
can be charged into a complete vacuum or anything up to pressure.
I would not let any air into the system.
Another good thing about the ES-12 is they are longer
It should.
The sender is nothing more than a thermistor that changes resistance as the
temperature increases or decreases.
That being the case, if you ground the wire to the sender I would expect the
gauge to go full scale.

Philip, Starter on my 83 300D came out really easy. From the
bottom, unbolt and disconnect the wires and pull starter straight
back. Then turn it to point the nose up and the starter just
drops right out. Takes about 15 seconds after the bolts are all
out and the wires disconnected.

Now that the dust has settled, the AC/hot air issue was way simpler
than any of us had imagined, and the #14 fuse may also have been a red

What's better, LED or LCD and why?
Both are LCD. The distinction is fluorescent vs LED backlight.
I dislike most (if not all) LED units I've seen, I think they're
too 'cartooney' color-wise. Best colors I've seen have been on
plasma units. Smallest of those is 42, which is not all that
big
LED is the backlighting for an LCD screen, as opposed to fluorescent used
otherwise. Fewer $s to run. We bought a Panasonic recently, mostly based on
the wider viewing angle, but it's in the living room.
