How long to operate A/C while in storage.

It still isn't good for the engine and exhaust to only run the car for one
minute all the time.

What kind of area has these laws? If it's private property, who cares if you
don't move it every couple days? Who keeps track? Depending on the terrain,
you could shift it into neutral without running the engine and push it a
couple feet. Then once a month run it up for 15 minutes. Why do you feel
unsafe in your car?

And I'm going up on the next space shuttle.

LOL! So tell us Mikey...what refrigerant does the '41 use in its a/c system?

I'd feel better with the whole rear end (or front, as the case may be)
jacked up, in a vehicle with a limited slip that is mandatory anyway.
Your advice is basically good but I'd probably skip the
running-on-jackstands as at least in the case of my '62 Stude, if you
start it up and let it idle it will never actually warm up, apparently
the bypass in the water pump housing is big enough to allow enough
coolant flow that the temp gauge never gets off the peg unless you
actually drive it, if you do drive it it will warm up in 5-10 minutes.

Seems like you could run it at a fast idle for 15 minutes and it should warm
up.

I will begin pushing car 1 down the to the street from my
incline driveway. I will push car 2 up. Pushing it up is difficult.

Residential California (Northern). Everybody's seems to be moving to
anyplace other than Calif. My relatives are gone. This state is getting
more strict by the minute.

Even in private property they require cars to be neat. No FOR-SALE
signs. No repairs. No parking in dirt, lawn. No driving in lawns.
No cobwebs. The city police pass by three times a week and
city inspectors come randomly. I like the idea, see why below.

People had been robbed of there leg. A few yard from where I am
typing this, young African-American men want money from a truck
driver. The truck driver refuse by saying, "I work hard for my
money," and they shot his leg... Doctors amputated his leg.

My father gets carjack by drug dealers on the street. No, he did NOT
buy drugs. They drag him a few feet when his leg didn't separate
from the seat belt. He escape with several black eye and we recover
his car several miles away and we stitch his trousers. The car had a
homemade timed kill switch. I had to make a switch,
it's the only car gets us to work.

California is not your place to be in, and if you are, DON"T STARE
at ANYBODY. If you do, you might end up in the hospital with a
few cheap bullets inside your back. We're immigrants and we can
take anything here, but it's really a sad situation with no real practical
solution, other than STRICT appearance regulations, even these
don't help.

One other thing, at New Years Eve, we set up sand bags and trenches.
Neighbors set up machine guns and OOZIES for joy shooting, it's worse
than war. One dude dragged out a makeshift CANON, for goodness
sake. I'm interested in hearing some solutions.

I'd quit worrying about your a/c and start worrying about some other things.

 

Roughly 1/30/04 03:49, Tibur Waltson's monkeys randomly typed:

Yup, purely local ordnance, not a DMV or state law issue.

Moving? Sell the unused car to pay for the move?

I think the manual for my '88 Accord says to run it 10 min. once a week.
When it is cold it won't run because you would end up sending liquid through
the compressor and cracking the compressors head - HVAC fact. Once the car
has warmed up completely it might get warm enough under the hood for you to
get the compressor to turn on. I wouldn't worry about it too much. I don't
think anyone is following the advice in the manual to the letter. Running
it one in a while should be fine. Don't be scared if you can't get it to
run in all winter. It will probably be fine.
