Hey guys,I need help again. Does anyone know what size the fitting for the hose going to the A/C Refrige control valve is? It's the one that is on the valve down on the right side of the car by the side vent on the right side and comes off the back of the compressor to the valve. wench size to take it off is 1 1/4 sae. it's down there where the heater hose shut off valve is. It takes a o-ring fitting but I need to know what size it is #12 or higher ?I need to make a new hose as I have a pin hole in the one I got
If it's not painted, Chrome it!!!

I believe it is a number 12. Look on your old hose. There should be a size. From there any a/c repair shop can make them up. Might be best if you just take it in and have them duplicate the old hose or just buy a replacement from one of the corvette resto houses.
Lifetime MemberI just replaced mine on a 1976 350 and the size is #8 small F-O-Fitting and the large is a #10 F-O-Fitting. You can gett them most anywhere.
Good luck
