DON'T do it... the R-134a needs higher pressure, higher pressure is more
trouble, especially in an older system!!!
R134a is not as efficient as R12 read less cooling..
It is not a job for the average do it yourselfer (regardless of what ever
you hear).

How about you come-up with a cost to counter my generalization?

Can you be more specific? sounds to me like a generalization

Is that you Sheff, you made me laugh (all in good humor)
