I retro'd my old 85 Jeep over. Just swapped the fittings/ charge ports to R134 and put a new dryer on there. Charged it up and it works fine.

Seems like for the GM systems you're supposed to change the orafice valve too..... Mine's leaking so I gotta figure out where the leak is before I can do anything with it.

They also make "Freeze 12" which is supposed to work in R12 systems with no modifications.

When I retro'd the Jeep R134 was $3/can. Now thanks to the EPA tree hugging burecrats it's $10/can
