    More to it than port size unfortunately. If you read previous threads you see there is quite a bit involved.

    Paul you posted it was in the interchange post, was that information wrong you found? https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/posts/147253458/

    I can't believe is that hard to find one that works. Its a block with ports, find one with the same ports, nothing in this thread changes that information that I read, what am I missing... These are also available form Ferrari. If in doubt but the right one they are not NLA.

    Buy a new one, put it in don't worry for another 35 years. Beats doing it wrong and redoing to it to save a few bucks if it is actually this hard and risky to find an xref. Carry on I guess I am missing the point of the thread which is fine. Lots of options for you to venture down on this specific issue so that's good news! :)

    Regassing Sat night. I will post my findings but to be honest I don't foresee any issues with the Alfa tx valve.

    The Cool zone 22-1064 specified for the F355 is also specified for the Alfa 145, 146, 147 and 166.

    Regassed system today with Alfa TX Valve. No issues works fine pressures are all perfect. The Alfa 146 TX valve is a perfect substitute at 1/2 the price of the Ferrari type. AC HVAC System works great
