Hello Folks, Have searched this forum and others, and all I read is, it's not fun . . . I have a "very" small leak in my R12 freon, (1984) AC system - which has been identified from a freon leak detector coming from the AC evaporator. So, I am looking for some suggestions, instructions or...

Hello, Has anyone heard or used Jim Smith from Florida to burn the performance chip for a stock 1984 350 CFI? Any and all comments are greatly appreciated!
