Do you have R-12 or 134a or your car? Start a poll, because I have R-12, Phil has 134a.

I still use R12 - I hoarded a case a few years back. I will go to 134 next time, with an upgrsaded condenser.

Okay, I'll look and see which kind I have, but does that drastically change the procedure for recharge?

Well, I'm gonna check it tonight and I hope that you'll have good instructions for me (like always) because I don't trust that DVD they sell at AutoZone on the subject.

Stock, they're R-12. Do the R-134a conversion. Its cheaper.
Have someone put a vacuum in the system before you
recharge it. Otherwise you'll run into problems later on.

Rob, can you explain the whole vacuum thing?

Basically, you don't want any air in the system. It has numerous
adverse affects. If you apply a vacuum to the system, it'll ensure
that there is only refridgerant and oil in the system.
