All taped up ready for SPI Epoxy Primer. Also the inlet on the other side I had already installed the fitting. This EPR valve is behind that fitting. This compressor someone had already pulled it out. With 134a this valve needs to be removed for the AC to work well. That was proven on the Coronet. It will freeze me out. It does require a cycling switch to be installed but I have not done that on the Coronet since I know what to look for when it freezes up and I shut it off manually. In the desert it is not that much of an issue with the dry air.
