LOOK!!!! Another question without any information.
My 1943 Supermarine Spitfire doesn't have a TXV
.......and neither does my hemi Farmall......
So maybe you can tell us what it is that you are actually working on?

If this is a factory bone stock 70's Mopar A body with factory AC the TXV screws right onto the evap fitting with the appropriate O ring.
You have a factory service manual? Parts book? go to MyMopar and download one, free. You will have to stomp around in there because they have re-worked the website

We are all here because we are not all there.
I would jerk that Hemi out of that tractor like today, its cool but I would plant that in an roller A body quick.
Not judging just spit balling
Thank you for understanding my post, wasn't aware that it was that difficult. I am aware that it attaches to the evaporator but not directly to it. I have the tube that attaches to the TXV that goes to the evaporator. I pulled it from a 1974 Plymouth Duster I have a 1972 Plymouth Scamp and from my research they both use the same evaporator. The problem is that I have a male end out of the evaporator and the tube off the Duster is a male. I had asked a previous question about the tube a month ago but no one replied. I know I can change the fitting by cutting and soldering/welding the tube back together, just wondering if this problem is unique...I am sorry if I did not completely elaborate the situation.

I'd say it's a simple matter of having the correct parts. The 74 and 72 I'm sure are different. Again if you go to MyMopar you can download service/ and parts manuals I have a parts book from a 74 but not 72 If you have a way of adapting them, and are not terribly concerned with absolute "correct" I would not hesitate to cut/ silver braze etc as needed.
I am from over a decade, in a previous life, of stationary HVAC/R equipment, where most all TXV's were either flare (SAE 45*) or braze fittings, and wish the auto industry had done the same
Of course nowadays, even in the stationary equipment end, getting replacement parts for R12/22/502 systems is pretty much impossible

Thank you and yes I have a FSM for the '72. I had looked on line at the evaporators for A-Bodies and they appear to be the same from I believe '70-'75. Just was wondering, looking at Classic Air and Vintage Air they don't appear to have a tube/hose for a connection on their systems, so I was wondering if I was not seeing something. Thank you again.
