Re: [AMC-list] A/C Refrigerant Conversions

[markprice242 <wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

At some point I need to move my collection of R-12 c ans. 
All acquired way back in the 80's before the phase out. 
I always figured I'd use them, but that has not been the case. 
If you attempt a repair , or conversion always add at least one can with leak detector dye in it. 
That way when or if you have a problem you have better chance at finding the leak.

This A/C thread prompts me to ask for your advice also. 
My Javelin's A/C worked perfectly for about 5 years after I bought it 
(Florida car). It would absolutely freeze you out until the summer 
before last when it stopped putting out cold air. I presume it leaked 
out. Here in northern Illinois it's not a big deal to not have A/C, but 
I would like it working for future resale. I know nothing about A/C and 
figured if I got into it or took it somewhere it would need to be 
converted to a new system for big bucks. Not willing to spend big bucks 
it has been left alone. Bruce's comment about HC12a is interesting. I've 
got a local guy who's worked on older cars for years. If he checked it 
for leaks and stopped it, would it then just be a simple recharge and 
I'm good? Or is it likely the compressor or something expensive 
considering the age of the system?
