I am getting ready to order the AC drier and expansion valve for my 70 Challenger and want to make sure I get the most correct looking parts that I can.  Classic Industries seems to be a good place, but their driers appear to have a domed top on the tank, but originals were more flat. The expansion valve they have picture in their catalog looks correct, but when I type in the part number online it has a coiled end instead of straight.  Advise please.
thanks
Chris

Expansion valve I got from Rock Auto was identical to OE, Coiled obviously won't work since the temp probe slides into a tube....

Driers there are many variations none I've seen is correct, if you need OE appearance there are companies that will  restore your original...

thanks that was very helpful! I never thought about having the drier restored. I will definitely go that route.
