[s-cars] AC low side recharge adapter

[Tom Green]

I have broken the code on a/c charging through the low pressure  
switch port.  This has been a sore
point with lots of listers for a long time.  So I decided that I  
must  "carry a message to Garcia".

I didn't have the problems Major Rowan encountered in carrying the  
President's message to General
Garcia.  It was as simple as reading Paul Waterloo's A8 posts on the  
correct way and poor man's way to
recharge the a/c system.  Please read both the posts, as they contain  
essential information for recharging
the a/c system both by the correct factory method and the shortcut.   
I am not here to encourage you to
recharge your system by either method.  Unless you are confident in  
your ability and knowledge, take it
to a professional.  Otherwise, use at your own risk.

There are follow on posts that show where Paul Waterloo sourced his  
fitting.

I got mine at Midway Auto Supply.  It is a FJC Air Conditioning  
Products R134a Tank Adapter --Part# 6016.
I don't think a group buy can save over $2 unless there are a lot  
more interested than I know of.

And, yes it works.  It is a quick disconnect fitting, so if you are  
using old screw-on fittings for your refrigerant
can or manifold, you will have to get adapters or a new hose set.  I  
encourage all to use a gage set, but otherwise
you are on your own.
