Lets try something new. No overabundance of boring details... Sorta. Me and my good friend have both tried to get the proper low-pressure switch for my car. 88GT. He owned the Napa in my town since we were kids (his dad started it back then.)
Finally, after much grief, we found that this is where the leak was back then.... About 5 years ago.
I have a kit with every size green oring available. None fit correctly to me. The one that comes new with the low-pressure switch isn't even close. Here's what I think the problem is. The threads on the switch are plastic up in there. When i put the switch on the fitting it's very wobbly. I can't imagine that's correct. I finally got it to seal back then but I guess not completely. Very slight leak. It would push the green oring out of the bottom when twisting the switch on. It presses the Schrader valve as y'all know. There's a flat ledge up in there that the oring mashes against. Anyway....... Help!
Ask anything you want. I need resolution to this once and for all. Getting hot here and I will not ride without ac.
Thanks.
