Pressure readings for an R-12 AC system typically vary based on the ambient temperature and operating conditions. Generally, the low-side pressure should be around 28-36 psi, while the high-side pressure can range from 180-250 psi. These values can fluctuate depending on the specific vehicle and environmental conditions, so it's important to refer to the manufacturer's specifications for the most accurate readings. Always ensure proper service practices are followed when handling refrigerants.
Need a recovery machine to set it at "vaccum" after it gets hook up to low pressure and high pressure.
No, R22 is for refrigerators and home AC. It runs at a different pressure and you can't use one for the other.
The low pressure port on The 88 supra is mounted on the back of the compressor. The system uses r12 Freon.
You can fill the AC on the low pressure side of the AC unit. Make sure and only use R12 unless your system has been converted to R134A.
R12 I owned a 91 Volvo 240 with inop AC for 6 years. I refused to get the R12 system fixed because of the damage that R12 does to the ozone (it is also expensive and restricted in distribution). I just sold that car last week and got a car with an R134a AC system..........I feel better. == == == ==
Chemical instability of mixing a CFC and HFC together increases the risk of fireExcessive system pressure resulting in damage to or destruction of AC system componentsImproper lubrication of the compressor since the R134a won't carry the oil used for R12 systems properly
A 1999 Ford Mustang has r134a in the air conditioning system

In an R12 AC system, using PAG 100 oil is not recommended. R12 systems typically use mineral oil, which is not compatible with PAG oils. Mixing different types of oils can lead to lubrication issues and potential damage to the system. If you're retrofitting to a more modern refrigerant, it's best to flush the system and use the appropriate oil for that refrigerant.
More than likely R12 but the 1994 Honda Accord can have either R12 or R134. Look on the A/C condenser or evaporator for a label listed the refrigerant.
YOU WILL NEED TO FLUSH THE SYSTEM TO REMOVE THE OLD OIL. ALSO INSTALL A HIGH PRESSURE SWITCH AS REQUIRED BY THE EPA. THEN INSTALL CORRECT AMOUNT OF OIL COMPATIBLE WITH R134A. CHARGE TO ABOUT 80% OF R12 BY WEIGHT.
You have to have a permit to buy R12 and it is very expensive. Any system that uses R12 can use 134 the replacement for R12. You will need adapters that screw onto the old fittings that accept the hose that hooks to the 134 can. You add freon to the low side of the system. The adapter are different sizes so you cannot put it in the high pressure side. Yes, if you have any mechanical knowledge at all, you should be able to charge the system without much trouble. OR you can buy all the R12 you like for cheap from Mexican sources and keep the longevity of your original equipment and lower operating pressures of R12. They way your system was designed. R12 comes in everyday by the truckload thanks to our new open border laws.
