Therein lies the problem. I haven't been able to find said fitting, but would like to. Being able to take both high and low side readings is the best way to assess the charge level.
Dennis' car needs a full recharge (new compressor), so hopefully the post yesterday referring to charging through the high side will work for us. I'd just like to be able to get in to both.

Nope. Never done AC work. Just know that the port is there by looking
through the Bentley manual, and I have heard of folks recharging through
that port so I would have thought an adapter would be readily available.
