I noticed this too. I have the R4 compressor in my car that I was going to use as-is, but with all the bad things I keep hearing, I'd like to look at other alternatives. How do we know which blue Ford orifice tube to use?

Call the Classic Auto Air location in Florida. I spoke to a guy named Ron. He was friendly and knowledgeable.

My ac guy said that the stock type would work fine. That's the orifice tube that I used.

the ford orifice tube you want is the .67 one I believe it came with the 89-92 ford thunderbird. That is how I found the part number. I ordered my parallel flow condenser from climate Parts for $119. To make the new connections I used U Bend'em aluminum ac tubing from Summit about $15 each.
