Re: 87 Chevy truck issues

One other question - what should I be looking at for a new cycling switch? I don't know if the previous owner changed it as part of the swap, so I want to install a new one...one that is appropriate for 134a. An ackits part number would be perfect... Also if anyone knows if which high pressure port ...

Re: AC in 98 Cavilier wont blow out cold air

Re: 87 Chevy truck issues

Also, want to change out the crap discount auto store 134a fittings for some quality stuff. The low side is easy with the MT0141-1. But will this take the MT0142-1(3/8-24 (3/16")) or the MT0143-1(7/16-20 (1/4"))?

Thanks
