Being that my 88 5th is my grandmother's car, the a/c system has always been kept in shape since day one.
However today I bought a Guage (and some 12a just in case..) and proceeded to check the system out.
However, what i see when I remove the LP cap is not a threaded r12 fitting but an updated quick connect fitting. Does this tell us the system has been updated to run the 134a refrigerant?
Hooked the guages up and got a running reading of around 30psi, now this is about halfway in the acceptable charged area from what I am reading? Would I benefit any from bumping it up tp the higher end of the charge? Also does the charge reading tell us at all what kind of refrigerant is in there??
