I have a 1979 with a/c. I bought a 134a conversion kit (el cheapo) and there were two fundamental problems.
1) there is not enough room for the fitting on the low side to connect to the filler tube because the compressor bracket is in the way. If you knoe what Im talking about, no further explaination needed. If you dont, I could never explain it well enough.
2) the brass threads that hold in the freon cannister BROKE, yes, BROKE and spewed freon and oil everywhere. It got all over my nice clean engine, windows, paint, all over everywhere. M-----F----R!!!!
So, I will return the el cheapo kit for a refund, and because I am a DIY guy, I want to try this on my own forst before taking it to a pro.
Any suggestions here? Thanks for any help!
