I've never had to do it on a V8, thankfully, so no first hand experience.
However, find a port on the line that comes from the firewall directly to
the compressor, not the one from the compressor to the front of the car. It
should have a R12 fitting, which is a male shrader valve. Screw the low side
adapter onto it, and then put the hose on with the air compressor style
fitting. Then, fill away. The kit should have a chart for your ambient temp
versus low side readings.
HTH,
Tony
