I wasn't so productive today. I did manage to get the new accumulator installed. I discovered that even after "having all the parts needed", I had forgotten to buy a new low pressure switch. The orifice tube that came with my component kit from Rock Auto is blue and I knew that so I ordered a red one. I opened up the box that it was in to discover that it was for a GM!I went ahead and installed the blue one so I could at least have A/C. Then I discovered that the new line that runs from the condensor to the evaporator was made wrong. I gave up and decided to go to town tomorrow and hope to find the right line, a low pressure switch, and a red orifice tube. I wasn't quite ready to head home so I moved my treasure hunt truck (from last year) out of it's hiding place behind the garage so I can be ready to move it to the front of my garage to rob parts off of to put on the Ex Wife which will be next right after I get the A/C going in the Blue Truck. I didn't move it very far, but I didn't use a very big tow rig (I did have to use the Blue Truck to get it out of the wheel indentions that it left after sitting for a year). I took a picture of it from the spot where the driver's front tire had sat. The empty spot where it was looks kind of funny now.
Now on to the most frustrating part of all. I was less than a mile from home when I looked at the old A/C line again and I realized that there's yet another fitting on it so the new one is probably right anyway. I had already decided to go buy the low pressure switch and (hopefully) a red/orange orifice tube. I guess that means that I probably just saved myself the cost of the new line.
