Thanks. Refrigerant levels...

Thanks to all of you for the insight. I appreciate the help.

The car was converted to 134A some time ago. It was low, so I added approx. one 12 oz can. I can see lots of bubbles in the sight glass. the system didn't seem to want to accept the whole 12 oz can (I did not evacuate the system before hand) and the pressure gauge was reading about 50-55 PSI (in the yellow area of my cheap little gauge). I assumed that was a sufficient amount. It does seem to blow fairly cool--not what I would describe as really cold, but ok. Maybe I should evacuate the system and recharge?

Thanks again for the info. I've just had the car 2 wks now, but it wasn't driven much the last few years (owned by an elderly man) so I'm planning on having to work out some bugs. It's a pretty nice car though--91k miles, nice paint/clear coat, smooth ride, runs well, etc. I'm liking it so far. I know it's cliche at this point, but it does seem really well built--pretty cool.
