AC manifold vs compressor vs seals vs my brain pan
I was going to post this question on this thread:
A/c Manifold Hose - Block Configuration ? but didn't want to hijack. (wish I knew how to "name" a link and shorten). As you can see in below pics, my old and new compressor sealing situation is quite different (old=left, new=right). Based on descriptions in the above linked thread I'm guessing the two seals I'm showing are the correct ones. Correct??? They sure don't completely fill up the outer diameter of the openings, but we don't seal all the way to the outside, so I'm guessing that's OK. Are those the right seals, or can you even tell? Also, both have the same looking electrical spades sticking out for my connector. However, one compressor has an "X" on the left spade, one has an "X" on the right spade. Is the "X" for the positive lead, or does that denote something else? I'm guessing I can mount the compressor, then before I connect the manifold can't I squirt in the oil via a turkey baster or somesuch? To avoid the well-lubed arm...... I would have still been going had it not been for the seal question. I remember somebody having trouble getting their exp valve in and all lines connected. Wow mine went in easily. 8-10 minutes, including Nylog application. I definitely need more larger metric wrenches. I'm waring out my 3/4 amongst others.
