[s-cars] A/C Recharging and Recirculation question

[Jerry Scott]

I had my early 93 R12 recharged about two years ago, and he used the port 
under the switch near the cowl, and on the passenger side.  It can be done 
with the small cans if you have the right fittings to fit the Schrader 
valve.  Set the control to the lowest temperature, fan on full blast, jump 
the switch on the port, and have the compressor running.  Fill until you get 
a measured 40 deg. F at the center vent.  Cost was $120 here in Denver.
