[DeTomaso] AC Expansion Valve Question

[Art Stephens]

     A couple of years ago,  I bought some A/C parts from Lynn's Auto Air in 
Downey,  California.  This seems to be the place all the other A/C shops in 
Los Angeles go to for their stuff.  The resident expert,  Marco,  basically 
told me that expansion valves are expansion valves.  It was my understanding 
that they used the same type for R-12 and R-134.  I went from the 12 to the 
134.  The phone number there is 562-803-5611.
