Correct drier/accumulator for SVO

[BrianO]

Many said they couldn't find one or the right one...here is the correct OEM style one for our cars. I know this because we just installed it on a friends SVO today and charged the system with Freeze12.. WAY cold...

Ready-Aire Accumulator
Part Number: 4221
Available at Advanced Auto Parts... says $85, but if you can get it cheaper elsewhere.

Just FYI for those that had trouble finding this part.

The accumulator is hard to find NOS. You might find something that will work - however, you might have to buy new hoses as well.

The 1984 forsure, maybe 85, were different than the 1986 type. The earlier models had one of the A/C hoses attached to the accumulator.

this is the one I have on my 84 and the same on my friends 86. he purchased it new and I just ordered one as well.

[8T6 SVO]

Good to know! Pictures?

[BrianO]

It will be here tomorrow..I'll snap some for everyone. The SVO one seems to be the only one with the top mount, twelve o'clock, high pressure line which is why it's so hard to find.

[BrianO]

or just go to the advanced auto website and look for the part number I have in the first post.

[BrianO]

just arrived... as promised...picture is of old OEM one on the left and new one with part number in the first post. fittings match up, size matches up. Only little change is the location of the shrader valve is a little further over, that's it.

Well it looks like you found a 1986 NOS one. It's got a Ford tag on it. Congrats. Document the Ford part # also.

4221 Accumulator

Anyone else having trouble finding an accumulator for your SVO? I've stopped by Autozone, Advance, and an Auto Value parts store nearby, and done as much looking on the internet as I can, but all I can come up with is the accumulator with the barbed fitting. I need one with the 5/8" springlock fitting, right?

No one can get that Ready-Aire #4221 accumulator that I can find.

[BrianO]

bummer, Advance doesn't have them anymore.. here's more info to help

I've seen that more than a few times. I've seen turn signal stalks in GP Sorensen boxes and they have MC part numbers on them.

Shucks/orielly has them, with the suction hose

[BrianO]

I don't think that's the right one Navy..the part number isn't even in the interchange list for the SVO and the angle of that connector looks wrong to me...

[BrianO]

BUT...they do have the correct one 4221 for order...
