Best r4 compressor brand?

Okay so I’ve looked and looked for a ford blue tube but can’t find a part number anywhere, any leads?

Autozone didn’t have blue, just red and orange, and I wasn’t feeling that ambitious. It’s 38621 at O’Reilly’s. Do you already have your accumulator already? Might as well get that, and rent the flush equipment, the manifold gauges, and vac pump. I didn’t have a catastrophic failure, but there was still brown gunk in the system. I prefer using Autozone because O’Reilly’s has a 48 hour time limit on their tools.

I have a shop lined up to do the job for 70, and I’d rather have the simplicity of a shop for something like that, I have the accumulator and May flush it before install, and I’ll give that orifice tube a shot

Gotcha. Sounds like a plan!
