Budget underhood AC retrofit.
Well I got the correct expansion valve finally! #6MIO inlet, #8MIO outlet, internally regulated. Napa part number A8262. I also put on a Reman compressor because once I finally get this working I don' need to pump it down to chance a damn compressor! Now I just need to get it charged up and test it out.
One thing I am not sure of is what to do with the brass tube coming out of the top of the expansion valve. I'm sure it' a temperature sensor but I'm not sure if it senses under hood temp for some reason or if it needs to be wrapped around the compressor suction line. Any Body know?
