Title: Variable rate orifice tube.
Post by: Recklessrob on May 31 2005, 01:42:22 AM

I'm going to be converting over to R134a when I replace the engine.
A buddy of mine said NAPA sells a "variable rate" orifice tube for
the conversion. Has anyone used one ? What were your opinions
of it ?  I also picked up a new accumulator. It happens to be silver.
Aren't the factory ones black ? If so, I'll probably paint it to look
more original. Any recommendation s on paint for doing this ? :question;
