AC Orifice Tube Replacement
I need some info on replacing the orifice tube in my 77 AC system. Can someone tell me where this is located and how hard it is to change. Maybe there is a digram of it i can see online or someone can post it.
Thanks

Here's my 78'. It's the white tab that shows up in the center of the tube. Pull it out with needle nose pliers. It is about 3" long. Not sure how close it is to a 77'. It's easy to change, but you will need to remove the Freon first.
It's in the upper right corner of this picture just to the right and below the overflow bottle.

I think your 78 and my 77 are the same. That looks easy enough and my Freon is already out. The hose was broke off the back of my compressor so I'm converting it to R134a and replacing the hose set, drier, orifice tube, oil, o-rings and Freon. I think this is all I need to do other than pulling a vacuum. If I have left anything out please tell me.
Thanks
