Great video. I have one thing ill mention. I did the conversion on my bronco. I didnt change to green orings. It only lasted about 6 months before the charge was gone. Some people do it and dont swap and never have issues. I had no leaks held vaccum for many hours. Seems like the dodge i did leaked off after about 6 months too. Idk i sold it but i remember new owners saying something about it.
It was the cheapest, air-powered vacuum pump they had at Hobo Frate! I think it was $15, but it works great. And I don't know what pressure those cans hold, that's a good question.
@@BobbyFranco Good point. However, I didn't know if there were leaks, or even if the compressor was any good. So I put it together with the old accumulator just to see if it all works. I can always replace it later, now that I've assessed the system. (Technically, it's an accumulator when used with a "pressure-cycling" system, and it a receiver/dryer mounted by the condenser when it's an "thermal expansion valve" system.)
Cool man.
It’s fun to be smart!
It might well be, but I'll never know...
@@2coolwheels139 🤣😂😇 Right!
Good info on switching to 134a.

so if you lift the car 2000 feet in the air, you would get the same effect?
@@russriley3005 Good idea, I'll try that next time!
Reusing the old receiver dryer? I assume you could not get a new one? Generally a big no-no!
