I usually assume that by now most cars have been converted from R-12 to R-134a; that an R-134a adapter has already been attached to the cars system; and if it hasn't, then R-134a can't be added because there is no R-134a adapter on the car. If that is not correct, I'd appreciate knowing about it since I've always used R-134a since it replaced R-12. Gerry
