This is my first time charging a 134 ssytem.
When converting, don't they take about 80% of the R12 charge?
(By weight.)

The low side pressure will be about the same as R12, the high side will be a
bit higher.
The expansion will regulate the pressure based on evap temperature. Thus it
will reduce or increase low side pressure as needed.

What weight of Amsoil are you running in your cars? I drove all around last

That car has definitely had some paint work done to it. You can see where
they masked off the VIN plate on the door (as well as the other info

There is also some peeling by the radiator VIN plate, as well as on th
