new A/C accumulator port not right

[Pete M]

sooooooooo.... after much struggle I got the old one out and discovered a different thread for the attachment point of the upper hose.   do I have the wrong accumulator?  Or is there an adapter out there I'm missing?

so morning has given me a clearer head and I noticed I still had one piece to remove from the hose.  problem is that I'm still stuck needing some sort of swiveling adapter.    

 

any idea what it's called that I need?

 

 

 

this is what I'm currently working with:

Is that not where a t would go for your pressure sensor or do you have that mounted elsewhere?

just a straight connection here.

Looks like just a standard #6 female to female ac connection should work

[Pete M]

are those AN fittings?  or is that fuel?  I wanna say that's fuel.

This is what the thread fitting should look like going into the dryer. Assuming the thread is 5/8 and not 3/4

I'm having difficulty finding one that has a thread on both ends rather than one threaded and one crimp.

Yeah, I’ve not seen a hose fitting that is a coupler for AC hoses. Looks like either a dryer or hose swap is in order

when I get back to GA I'll check what my other trucks have, but I fear this truck will need a new hose made.
