Retro Air and most web sources say 100 but a seemingly knowledgeable tech person at 4 Seasons said to use 46. I will use a metal gasket at the compressor suction connection instead of the supplied paper type gasket. Does the raised portion of the metal gasket go towards the compressor or the tubing flange (or does it matter)? Has anyone ever used Nylog Gasket Thread Sealant and Assembly Lube? I am considering using it on all the O-rings and gaskets. The vehicle is a 71 383 Cuda.
