Good Afternoon Everyone,

Long story short, I was charging up my original 1959 Air Conditioning system as specified in the shop manual. Unfortunately, both of my system's fitting valves got stuck in the open position and I am now unable to remove my gauges. These valves were replaced before I purchased the car. I am unable to find any information about what size they are and the shop manual does not give any specifications. I searched sites like Old Air Products, but did not find anything helpful there.

My question: does anyone know what size these valves are? There is one on the back side of the compressor and another on the gas bypass valve.

Thanks in advance for the help,
Josh  :D
