Joe? Was that you on Vortex with the green arrow pointing to the open
test port? (Did you bruise you tailbone when the fumes made you sit
down abruptly?)  heh heh.

The accumulator is different between the single and dual pump cars (I
think). Better to get a new one because most older ones will be just
as corroded. Conversely Cabbies having A1 parts and being often of a
later year are good donors for stuff so look around.

btw- Might not be the accumulator itself, might be one of those little
hoses down that way.
