Inline tube sells re-pops for $24, their catalog shows them fitting '68-'77 cutlass/442s. I'm pretty sure the only cars that had them from the factory were the E-bodies(Toros). I put one on my '68 because the new a/c hoses I bought from Classic-Auto Air were a little long & it looked like the big suction line would rub on the pulley. The sling guard solved the problem nicely. When I went through my a/c system to convert it back to R12 because of the leaky compressor, I replaced the original multi piece front compressor seal with the new updated 1 piece seal, it reduces the oil slinging quite a bit. The seal is designed to leak a bit to keep it lubed. The oil slinging was horrible with the R134a in the system & unknown to me the rebuilt compressor that was on the car with the R134a still had the black o-rings for the large case seals which don't work with R134( they should be green silicone) plus the chemicals in it eat paint!. The rear seal started leaking & ruined the paint on my rh control arms & frame! I had to pull it all apart & refinish everything! I'll NEVER use R134 in old car again! At least with R12/mineral oil all you get is an oily mess if it leaks.
Thanks!!! I love it too!! It wasn't my first choice though. I was looking for a saffron/black top car like my old one( you know "the one that got away") but this one popped up on Epay 8yrs ago & I had to have it!!!
