Re: R134a price up over 500%

Re: 1975 Corvette AC Recharge
You can access the low side just about anywhere. Be advised, R134a in Corvettes has not been the best choice of refrigerant.

If the circuit is the same as a 69 Dart, there is a temperature control switch. It is in the circuit right before the low pressure switch.
