Pressure Testing A/C Condenser
1970 Conv. with SB & 4-SP
I am replacing the Radiator, Support, etc. and want to pressure test the A/C Condenser which is now out of the car. I am looking for a way to seal up one opening and either pull a vacuum or pressure test through the other opening. However, theA/C O-Ring types of Male and Female connectors make it difficult to find the mate such that I can used my A/C hose connection.
I have tried the normal hardware stores, and even Grainger could not offer a recommended solution.
Suggestions are welcome.

That's funny what if it only leaks at 250psi or more???If your using R134a a new condenser designed for R134a will make your ac work better
some Radiator shops can pressure test condensers out of the car..... I'd break out the Yellow pages & ask around
