[s-cars] AC low side recharge adapter

[Tom Green]

Yes, I think so, Jerry, but I can't give any guarantees because I  
don't have the hardware to compare, but the fitting the low pressure
adapter screws on is the same for several models.The FJC 6015 adapter  
may give you a direct fit for your R12 hose since the fittings
descriptions look correct , but I don't have a R12 car or hose to  
check this out.

You have a hose to use for filling the system from the R12 cans.   
Check the ends of the hose, one should be larger that fits the can tap.
Try that end on the low pressure fitting on your car.  If the R12 and  
R134a cans are the same, then this 6016 adapter or the 6015 adapter
will fit your car.

If the hose end does not fit, then I would compare the R12 can tap  
with a R134a can to see if they are the same.   Or, just check with one
of the listers in your area who is ordering a 6016 adapter and check  
the fit on your car.

I will mention for all that the adapter covers up the schrader valve  
in the low pressure fitting.  You can't remove it without losing the
refrigerant charge and the adapter doesn't have a fitting to press it  
in like the gage set hoses do, so you will be relying on the charge
pressure in the can to force it down and allow the charge to enter  
the system.
