My goal this year is to get my AC working in time for Summer. I'm sending my Expansion valve out to be restored. My question is what material do I use that looks original for wrapping the temp sender that is clamped to the refrigerant line that goes into the AC box on the fire wall. I looked in the Fusick book and couldn't find anything. Any help in steering me in the right direction would be great appreciated.

 

Greetings - Here's what you're looking for Cork/asphalt AC insulation tape, NapaTemp Part #: TEM 209491

If you'd prefer to not deal with NAPA, at least you have a part number and description to use as the basis for more research.
If you end up buying the whole roll, let us know in case you want to sell your excess to others on here who might have the need.
Good luck!

 

Old Air Products sells a reseal kit that includes the tacky tape that you're looking for and also includes o-rings, foam gaskets and the rope caulk to seal the evaporator suitcase.

 

See if you can find Johns-Manville Duxseal. You can get it in 1lb package. There's other brands too.

 

My local Napa actually had roll of that sticky tape in stock, when I was redoing my a/c & converting back to A12 in 2018. Of course the roll has enough for 20 cars! At least it was cheap.

 

Hey Rob,
You have any left over?

 

Thanks for the tip! I keep forgetting about the local Napa store!

Thanks so much! I will check into that!
