It is a 17 year old system with a scroll compressor.

I would recover the system and weigh the charge removed. Then inspect the orifice tube for debris.

I really can't say how the POA will perform on Keyboard Duster.

Depending on what low side port you were connected to the readings can be all over the place at low charge

Side tap whatever can you are using and dump 100% of the first can in the evacuated system as a liquid. Through the high side ...

"Eco Friendly Refrigerant" What would that be exactly?

The replacement blends of R600/R290 should be charged differently to begin with. Charge as a liquid. The blends are less dense than R12, and overcharging is easy to do.

Blends can run lower pressures on the low side. 18-25 psi on the low side ...

How about some pictures?

GM crammed A/C in to the Opel GT. I have seen an aftermarket unit in a Lotus Europa. Many things are possible. Let's see what you have to work with.

Yeah Scott, we know. My little hybrid Escape uses the same compressor. The good news is that it makes full output regardless of the engine speed. Even stopped.

I think the Teslas leave the road about 2pm, as they watch the 5kw going into the compressor kill their range - as they sit in traffic ...

A few paths to take, depending on the use the car sees.

1 You could keep it R12. We know the refrigerant is harder to get, and that the A6 seal design will always pass a little oil. Along with that oil a little refrigerant is lost. If the car sits a lot the seal seems to leak more. The up ...

Thanks, I will give them a try.

How have you been? Missed you around here

LOL Brad,
You can scrape the mussels and barnacles off my cast iron Tecumseh, or use my York air compressor

Hey Tex!

Been waiting to see you here.

Barnacles? Oh man I need to post some pics for you! Do you happen to have a vent assembly for a Mark IV Roadmaster?

Wow. What a beautiful casting. Absolutely no reason to discard a rigid, well designed item like that.

A wide open invitation to a direct mount compressor. Two tabs on a plate at the hinge line and mount the plate to the bracket. Tension arm tab as needed.

Yes, your valve can probably be backed ...
