[QUOTE="Lethalthreat7.3, post: 751398, member: 10651"] Just gave you a call. The issue with the clutch not pulling in is the "air gap". Everyone keeps talking about pulling the washer or shim. These are different thickness so that the gap can be adjusted between the clutch and coil. Different coils have different specs(any info or extra shims should have been with the new clutch and look like little washers) The pressures being equal indicate that the metering device is not functioning. Since you use an orifice tube either it is upside down, not seated fully, is damaged or an o-ring is bad. If i remember way back in say '88 or '89,(ok maybe i'm getting old) I got some orifice tubes that had the damn arrow going the WRONG direction. (This thread just reminded my aging butt!) I went through the same b.s as you have Cowboyup(sounds like you've done a really good job from you description). The air gap is an easy fix. The orifice, well you know the drill. Just pull out the gas, flip the orifice over and make sure it seats. Vacuum and I bet it charges. [/QUOTE]
