Mike Brichta Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hey Guys, Does anyone know where the expansion valve bulb should be placed on the suction tube on cars with AC? I am reading that it should be between 6 and 9 O'clock on the suction tube when facing the car from the front. I want to confirm before I install it. I seem to recall seeing them more around the 12 to 3 O'clock position. Thanks!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hi Mike, When I redid my AC a couple years ago I placed my bulb in the exact place my old one had been. It may be hard to tell from these pictures I took right after I finished but you may be able to tell it was somewhere around 12:30 to 1:00 position. Mine is a 350 June 1970 (3rd week) build in the Baltimore Plant if that makes any difference. You may notice I may have put a little too much of the black goop around it. rob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brichta Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hey Rob, Thanks for your reply and pictures. I agree with you on the placement. I seem to remember them being on the inside around the 2 O'clock position. Nice pics, by the way. Thanks!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Peters Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Mike, I just noticed I could not enlarge them from the pictures I placed here on the site. If you would like, I will email them so you can maybe enlarge them easier. rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brichta Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 Hey Rob, Thanks for the offer but I was able to expand your pictures and I have a pretty good idea of where yours is located. Thanks again for your help! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
