Have you tried your local auto parts store. Autozone says they carry it.

Cool. :)
He said "new" so I didn't post "wreckin yard".
{edit: I thought he said "new" :/ }

Wreckin yard would be my first choice.
The stem seal can be "snugged up a little" using a hammer and a 5/16"
deep well socket. ;)

Cool thanks. :)
I have an extra pair of service valves right now.
The low-side-extra is my original but it's a dangged side-outlet. ;)

Are you using the iso-butane mix? :)

I installed a new thermal expansion valve with my original compressor
rebuild and was un-happy with the results. :/ Then realized one day the
TXV needed adjusting! LOL :) Sure as heck didn't take much turning but
sure as heck fixed that baby right up! :)

~3/16 of a turn all together was needed to fix mine??
Anyway ~1/32 of a turn was the last little "tweak" I did to mine.

~41*F vents was the result, down from ~55*. :)
And all that with less high side pressure too. :)
