There is no need to apologize Barry. Your input to the hobby has been a valuable asset to many, many people throughout the industry. I personally want to thank you for your support network. The first sentence of your quote is probably specific to most that are giving opinions on this subject. Then you have those that mimic the "mockingbird" and make it a practice of pirating every one else’s information in an attempt to just be part of the club. Steve and I have been researching the A/C on this car for over a year and a half. We still find it very confusing at every level. The hoses and lines were some of the most difficult pieces to find for this car. When was the last time any of you saw an NOS date coded condenser still in it's original packaging? I for one am trying to learn and by no means claim to have all the answers. When it is all said and done, I may very well end up using the “regular” #257 hose.
