Hell o fellows,
Its humid as a bitch and the A/C fairy will visit me tomorrow.
I see those conversion kits in advance and i'm considering gettgin it.

I can buy a new drier O-rings for my car and do a proper conversion but that will cost about the same as fillling it back up with R-12.
I saw this kit in teh store and it made me think..

Arlo, it's Cory, swing by the shop sometime, and we can do it. you don't have to change all the o-rings. just change the 2 schrader valves, put on the 2 new fittings, and fill it with 85% of R134a. so if you system requires 2 lbs of R-12 (32 oz), you put in 27 oz of R134a. and you're done.

no need to convert anything, did it to my DA years ago. But since removed the a/c system.
