Default 83 T-bird Ac issues
I have a 83 t-bird with AC problems. When the engine is cold the ac blows cold air. After the engine gets hot it blows hot air. The freon is full and clutch is working. Any ideas?

It could be a blend door not closing or opening.
Check for vacuum leaks.
Is the condensor clean?

You mention full of freon, have you had the pressure taken?

Default Blend door
I figured out it is a problem with the blend door opening and shutting on its own. Anyone know how I can fix that issue. A diagram or something?

If a door is operating by itself that means there is a vacuum leak.
Check the entire vacuum system, the leak could be anywhere.
