Ford POA Valve NOS YG-159

New Old Stock replacement part for 1975 Ford Granada and 1975 Mercury Monarch

Ford POA Valve NOS YG-195 or
YG-182

We list these two New Old Stock replacement parts as one part number because they are functionally interchangeable.

They fit the following Ford vehicles:

Ford
Mustang II 74-76
Pinto 74-76
Thunderbird 72-73 & 76-78
Torino Late 76

Lincoln
Mark 72-73 & 76-78

Mercury
Cougar 74-76
Montego 73-74

Due to market changes, we have made the hard decision to no longer offer restoration services. We do offer replacement upgrade kits and bolt in aftermarket kits to cover the void.

Air Conditioning Tip:

If you are replacing your POA Valve on an otherwise operating system, its failure is likely as a result of contaminants causing it to stick in the open position, forcing it to constantly by-pass.

As is the case with any air conditioning system, flushing the system to insure that re-used parts do not contaminate newly replaced or restored parts and replacing or restoring the car's Filter-Drier are essential to avoid a repeat of the same problem.
