Re: A/C Dryer ??

Flow is from the compressor to the condenser, through the drier, to the expansion valve/evaporator.

It looks like it's connected properly

Re: A/C Dryer ??

No orifice tube on the 71 if it is still factory. Factory is a POA system.

Re: A/C Dryer ??

If you are going with 134a, recalibrate your poa valve.

I Just Got My New POA Valve 134 From Classic.
After I Evacuate And Pump Down The System, Question Where Do I Hook Up The Wires The Instuction Are Not Real Clear.

The Instructions >>>Replacement for the original POA Valve. Converts the POA System to a Cycling Clutch System like found on most Late Model Vehicles. Saves Gas Milage and decreases length of load on the engine. Easy to install and is compatable with R134 refrigerants.

I Also Replaced The Dryer

And What Should My Gages Read When Full >>> Low 130 >> Hight 230 ?
Also Has And One Used The 134 New POA Valve ?
Thank You For Any Help In This Matter

Re: A/C Dryer ??

I don't think many people are happy with the POA eliminator pictured. It turns your system into a cycling system that is normally used with a orifice tube.

Originally, and mostly likely still do, you have an expansion valve as the metering device. It's used with a continuously running compressor.

The POA helped control the pressure in the evaporator core. More modern A/C systems might use an expansion valve without a POA. By adjusting the expansion valve you might be able to get decent performance without the POA. The switch above would then become a protection device

edit to answer your questions.
I do not believe you can buy a "new" POA
The wire on the switch goes in series with the green wire going to your compressor
Google a 134a pressure/temp chart. While running low side pressure should be 35-40 psi.
