R12 can only be found be bought a refrigerant places, like refrigerator repair since it is not enviromentally safe and I might be wrong but I believe you need a permit/certification now to carry R12.

Why not fix your leak, and convert to R134... Nowadays, you can make it blow just as cold as R12, and it's 1/10th the price.

I doubt you will find a place that won't make you bend over to get a R12 recharge. There are not that many cars left out there that run R12, plus the whole environment thing associated with R12.

well I dont think its a leak as much as just the car being a 90 with a couple hundred thousand miles on it and needing to be recharged - so if I were to convert anyone in Nova got a vacuum pump who can discharge the old and redo with 134 if i buy the conversion kit
