Hey,

R-4 A/C compressor, GM-type Need the manifold that connects the rubber hoses to the compressor, mine is warped and won't seal.

Thanks,

Yes, I have a W116 fetish :-)

I took 2 to the dump saturday I still have one on the car that I mean to pull some day How much is it worth then I will know if it is worth stopping other stuff to pull it I hope that makes sence. Dave S San Jose CA mattdave@pacbell.net PS if your local you can have it for free if you pull the AC pump.

To purchase a new one, it seems that the MB dealer is the only source...and they want $425 for the part! I found one at a local salvage yard, they wanted $40 for it, but it is warped in the same way as mine. It seems that if the center (the only) mounting bolt is over-torqued the mating surface bows making the flat surface rather convex, thus rendering the part unusable because it won't seal. If/when you remove the part, lay a straight edge along the mating surface and see if it's flat.

Thanks,

I found I only sent one to the dump so I have one off the car I will pull the part later today how does $20 plus shipping sound.

But, is it flat?
Any chance you could send me a pic of it so I can be sure it's the same part?
What car did it come off of?
I'm pretty sure the MB part number is 617-130-0157 but I don't know if that number is stamped on the part...

I don't mean to sound picky or unappreciative, but I don't want to waste time/money and get my hopes up only to find that it won't work. Yes, Autumn is here but it's still 90 degrees in Central Texas!

Thanks,

It is flat I just pulled it I was just going to ask for an email adress to send a picture too so you could see if it is the one you are looking for. I am 99 percent sure it is off a 1980 300sd but dont recall for sure there have been a few MBZ and I always yank the AC
MY email is mattdave@pacbell.net

I was checking to see it was not warped in ward not if it had a very slight outward curve let me take off the o rings and check length wise.

If you put a flat edge across the outside edge there’s less than a thousands of an inch gap in the center so small as to be insignificant
