SPECIALIZED A/C ORIFICE TUBE AND LOCATION

MODELS AFFECTED: 1988 SKYHAWKS

All 1988 Skyhawks have the orifice tube located in the condenser outlet pipe. The orifice, Part Number 3096068, is unique for Skyhawks and can be readily identified by the red colored inlet end.

Special caution must be used in servicing and replacing this orifice tube. The inlet or red end must be inserted into the condenser outlet. Failure to use the correct orifice tube or follow proper installation of new tube may result in restriction of liquid line and subsequent replacement of liquid line.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
