I have a recollection that a 16x22 condenser will fit in the original spot.
Parallel flow - purportedly more efficient than OEM. I think I found this
info on The Samba.

I had my eye on this one, but have since placed my beloved Westy Milton
with a new owner - strangely, he is participating in this very thread.

It is an odd feeling being the dread 'DPO' (DDPO) myself now.
