I've heard R12 systems can be converted to R134a. Does anyone know what's involved? Should I convert my old car to R134a, or should I just try to get it charged with R12? I've heard that you have replace the seals in the system, but I've also heard that you don't. If it's easy and reasonably priced, I'd probably convert it.

If it is cool but not cold. Find someone that already owns a set of R12 gauges, should be easy and that same person can probably still buy R12 and feed him a couple of beers to charge up the system. The system itself probably holds 2 to 2.5lbs. If it is cool, it will take probably one can to get it cold, possibly two. Do not buy R12 off ebay as you don't know what you are getting. I have seen old cans that have literally leaked out the product to cans that were filled with 134a. If you are going to do it, the cheapest route is not the best!
