    ive got the supertech 12 oz cans from WM i dont know about inline shutoff valves. i did open the low valve to try to get refrigerant to go in. i have this manifold set and the can tap that came with it. GAUGES does that look like a can tap that wont work?

    thank you! i knew this new snap ring pliers set would come in handy. i did buy an acdelco 15-2962 but it says "to accumulator" which i guess means attach to accumulater? i also have a gpd 1711425 trying to figure out where that goes lol.
