Well, we did it today. We put about 3 cans in and it's blowing as cold as it's going to. I bought a hose set from NAPA. All it was was a tap to go on the can and then the connection for r-134a on the other end. We cut that in half and bought 2 barbed connections and a copper "T". We then just used one gauge form his manifold set and screwed it into the "T". Let me know if you guys want more detailed instructions, but anyways, it's done. At about 2500rpm's, the low pressure is pretty steady at 25-26, which ios where it should be from the conversion chart of freezing, etc. My mom's cousin helped and he worked at a hospital and often did refrigeration stuff there. I don't think my car will be doing very well though sitting at a light when it's 85 outside though.
Thanks
David
