High Fitting Is Smaller???

ArizonaHeat55 on Sun July 20, 2008 1:51 AM User is offline

Year: 91
Make: Honda
Model: Prelude
Refrigerant Type: R-12

I wanna check the pressure on the high but the valve seems to be about 3/8 thread and the low valve seems to be 7/16.
I wanna know where i can get an adapter to check the high, i know i can check some other way but i wanna know exactly how much pressure i have.

I want to know what the adapter is called and in what area of the store it would be in, and also what store would have it.

I live in Tucson, AZ.

Thanks In Advance.

You need mastercool number H 90358* from this page there are others, but this is what I found. You can e-mail the guys at ackits.com for price and shipping. or you can try a local parts store. Hope this helps..

You have to try calling the parts store in your area..can't do that for you... I have no idea how far away you are from Phoenix, as I'm in new jersey, If you call around, you have the masterxcool part number now which should help as long as it's not a fast parts store where the counter guy asks if you want fries with that..Lot of them in my area..Can barely drive much less sell parts... Hope this helps..

The high side adapter you need I believe is a 3/16" female flare to 1/4" male flare fitting.

GM high side adapters, only ran across a couple of cars in the last zillion years that didn't need one or the other, the top one is the one you want. Actually was a good idea to make the high side different from the low side, so you won't get confused and surprised when you pay a couple of bucks for a manifold gauge set, they don't throw a couple of them in the box.

Anyway, you have a picture so you know what you are looking for, haven't purchased one in year's but just about any automotive store sells them, K-Mart even sold them before the EPA entered the game, Ha, used to be 39 cents, probably a few more cents today.
