Sweet,because I bought a brand new one on Ebay for $25.00.I figured at that price,it may come in handy while I'm getting my a/c together.If I don't need it,I can easily get my money back by selling it.

I have a brand new a/c line that goes to the firewall,around the intake,and to the compressor.The accumulator that goes to the firewall,does not have a plug for the harness on it.Is the little electrical part something that can be screwed on to it?If so,who has one to give up?

Jerry,look at the second picture,and on the accumulator,you'll see on the top,where the electrical plug goes.I need that part.

I knew I should've kept my originals.

It definitely unscrews I used to sell the snot out of them every spring
 Its  plastic so you need to not over tighten it when you put the new one on.
 Almost all 80's ford vehicles use the same one  regardless of engine size

If you are running R134A you should turn the pressure switch cutout to 22psi, the default is 35psi for R12. An easy way is to just buy a pressure switch for a 1997 crown Vic. It's allready set to the right cut out, has the same plug and is less then $30.00.

I'll be having a professional do the a/c.I can hook up the hard parts,but the rest....out of my hands.It will be set up for R134A.
