Anybody know how much R12 (volume) the '84 is supposed to take?

Thanks,

Bill

2.75 lbs of R-12...it should be labled on the blower housing under the hood.

So it is! After 176K miles of abuse...it's still there. :L

Thanks Jon!

Hey Bill, are you getting around to fixing the AC? Is it getting warm out there in the mountains? It has been down right chilly here, 98 today. But it's a dry heat.

Yep, got it filled up yesterday. It is still a little low on refrigerant though...but that's easily fixed.

It's hit 90 a time or two...but what's not very well known is because of the thinner atmosphere at this elevation the infrared as well as UV are MUCH stronger...the "greenhouse effect" is just awful. I've been sunburned in 35 degree F weather!
