Hi,
I'm finally replacing the carpet in my 86.5 and after I removed the rear center console, it looks like the expansion valve has not been replaced. Supposedly, there was a conversion done by a PO, but looking at the valves more closely, it looks original to me. The A/C blows cold, but never seems to cool the car off on a really hot day. Do these valves look like original equipment to you, and should I go ahead and replace them with known 134a compatible valves while I'm in there just to be sure?
