R134 Conversion Adaptors - different styles?
After the 3rd or 4th round of repairing / converting my C3's factory air conditioning, thinking I FINALLY had it all replaced, repaired, sealed, charged, and blowing cold..
I went into the garage later that night and in the dead quiet I heard one of the R134 adaptors pissing. @#$#@!!! High pressure side.
TBH it's pretty tight and I'm not comfortable torquing it down any further. Original style compressor.
I have since heard/read there are more than one "style" of R134 Adaptors. Mine came from LAPS.

Can anyone give me any advice on this?

Put some soapy water on the valve to determine where the leak is coming from. Could itbee from the Schrader valve? The valve is essentially a tire valve. You can screw and unscrew them with an inexpensive tool. Make sure the O-ring is well lubricated with the oil used in the system. Jerry
