Replacing the AC lines, accumulator and compressor on my old car. I obtained an original unused motorcraft AC liquid line from eBay and I thought I read somewhere that the AC expansion valve came integral with this part. Anyone know how to verify?
The old liquid line has a metal section where it connected to the AC coil, is that were the old expansion is located? I haven't gotten to comparing the old & new yet, but wanted to ask.
Thanks sleepdog
Still confused...
There are three lines, pressure to condenser, the condenser to evap, which usually includes the orifice tube, and the accum to compressor.
The orifice will always be in a steel section
So even if I can't actually see it, if it's a motorcraft liquid line, I can assume that's where they put the orifice/expansion valve?
Just found out I got the wrong liquid line, this one has a flare fitting on the end, even though the numbers matched when I looked them up. Mine uses all spring lock couplings. No big, just need to order the right one.
