Hi Tom, Thanks for the reply. He bought the car last fall and the AC didn't work then - don't know when it was last functioning. The car is on its way to my house tonight, I should be able to put gauges on it and see what's going on. If there's more than a few PSI in the system, we may gamble on feeding it a pound or two of R-12 and hoping for the best...
