R134a AC conversion
1984 C60
Been looking at several of the 'old posts' on this subject...
In the process of putting together the parts to make this happen.
New compressor, New Accumulator, new compressor --> accumulator lines.
Plan on flushing the rest of the components prior to charging.
Saw many comments along the lines of:
"I did swap out the low pressure cycling switch and from the standard .072 orifice tube to a .067 assembly."
Could someone please share part numbers/suppliers for the items above?

I checked the part numbers for earlier vs. later systems and GM used the same orifice tube for the R-12 and R-134a systems.

thought I answered this...
you might have been looking at one of my old threads/posts. the parts I used in my retrofit were FJC 3016 orifice tube (note: this a blue, ford, .067 orifice tube). the low pressure cycling switch is FJC 3225.
most of my parts and materials were from FJC, however, I did not buy direct from FJC. seems amazon and/or fleabay had the best pricing.
here's a link to FJC's .pdf catalog - http://www.fjcinc.com/wp-content/the...FJCcatalog.pdf

I bought the conversion kit at Walmart at least 15 years ago. Came with the valve, pressure gauge, a can of stop leak and 2 cans of R-34A. Had cold air ever since and never leaked
