    Yesterday I pumped down the A/C system on my 75 Mav after installing a new expansion valve. Today when I was charging the system the high side gage pegged out on the high side.
    Any suggestions on the most likely part that might be stopped up?

    Thank you

    Did you pull a vacuum, after you reassembled the system?

    Stopped up

    Yes, I pumped it down and it has a new valve. In the morning when it is cooler I am going to take the system apart ans with my air hose hopefully find the bad guy.

    Thank you
