Which is the intake line to put your recharge and do you have to drain the old freon? Now I am just getting hot air when I turn on the ac. Thanks.

Is the car still R-12 or has it been converted? The low side line is where the refridgerent goes and you should find the nipple on the accumulator.

usually the high side is the small line and the low side is the larger line. you add thru the low side.

No, it's still R12.

If the system is completely empty you should have the whole system serviced. If it still has some residual pressure you can top it off with R12.

Thank you. So you can mix the two different freons?

 

[86gn]

no , do not mix..either take it somewhere and have them top it off with r12, or drain and flush system ( they sell a flush at autoparts stores) and fill yourself with 134a. If your not real familar with ac stuff will be a lot easier to take it and have it filled with r12
