'84 C4 A/C compressor pressure harness
Just picked up this project car this week and am working through many electrical/mechanical issues with it (LCD issues, cooling fan relays, etc).
Right now I am stuck trying to find the mating half of the A/C harness connector (hi/lo pressure sensor I believe) that attaches to the post that extends from the back of the compressor. The harness side is a black rubber that snaps on the post and a the mating portion should be on the post to secure it. It seems that the only pressure switches I can find are those that are mounted on a coolant line, not on the compressor itself.
Any idea where I can locate this part?
I will try and post am image on a site so I can link it here.
Thanks....

Thanks, Cliff! My decision now is this system appears to have been totally discharged. I wonder if it is worth investing time and money on the OEM R12 compressor versus converting it over to the 134a setup. Has anyone out there done this? What was the cost? Any pitfalls?

installed. Air now blows real cold. My mechanic sez the molecular structure of 134a is smaller than the OEM compressors were designed for.
