Bill, the early AC systems pull the full clutch load across the switch. Common for the switch to arc and foul up. Best to install a relay to take the load of the switch.. I did this on my 67 Chevelle and 68 Acadian and it fixed my issue. Learned this troubleshooting on my 68 Acadian... installed an NOS switch and only got about a dozen uses before it fouled out. Been fine since adding the relay.

NICE to have R12 !!

Awesome job on the wagon!!
