Freeze 12 conversion in the 80

[Trollhole]

SO my A/C went out. Not blowing really any cold air this year. Put the guages on it and it was sitting about 5psi. So went down to NAPA yesterday and bought 3 cans of freeze 12. It's a drop-in replacement for the r-12. Was around $10 a can 12oz. I could have gotten it for around 8 across the street from my work at the HVAC supply house but was already home.

So I put a vacuum on the low side line and pulled it down for 30 min. Then cranked the cruiser up and started filling it up. You use about 10% less freon with freeze 12. The 80 I have uses 2.09 of r-12. Which caculated into about 30.1 oz. of freeze 12. So about 2 1/2 cans. Takes a while to get all the freaon out of the can. The radiator exhaust helps keeping the cans warm. All in all it took me an hr to do. I now have 33 degree A/C on high.

Good times.

I ran that in the 62 for a while. Never had ac that was that cold before. Mine was at about 34 or 35 degrees till it all leaked out. Replaced with R134 and ac was cold but not as cold as with the Freeze 12.
