You should charge the system from the low pressure side. This
valve should have a blue cap on it...Good luck!!

Low pressure side on most Ford 6's are passenger side actually on the evaporator/accumulator housing. They have black caps. It is the only fitting that your hose will attach to, hopefully.

Haven't tried to pull that plug out yet. I have the OHV, I would guess you need to remove the plastic cover off the top of the engine, but I have no clue from there.
