My chum's 300E was converted to 134A before he purchased it (

) anyway, threw the gauges on there and the high side was only 90psi.
NOW since I believe it was converted with one of those cheapo kits, I seriously doubt the o-rings and what not were swapped.
Would a dying compressor cause low high side pressure or is the damned thing just low on 134A?
Thanks for any help.
