Sounds like I need to get one of Harbor Freight's 49.99 manifold guages.
Now I don't want to use my AC until I get some good readings... and I need to find the high side fitting... the MB engineers who designed my 124 must have hidden it pretty well... I wonder where that puppy is?

Hint: Look directly in front of the a/c compressor pulley, the hard metal line near the radiator. Tight quarters, but you'll find it there. I bought a nice 90-degree adaptor for my guage set from Grainger. Works great on a 124.

I did find that fitting after looking for a bit.
Thanks. I did the low side test a bit more correctly this time, revving the engine to 1500 rpm, and I was a bit below 25 psi on the low side, maybe 20 psi. I was getting 64 degrees out of the center vent. At idle I was only about 34 psi, so maybe I have a leak? Revving and adding a bit at at time I finally got the low side pressure up to 26 psi and that was the end of the 12 oz can. Center vent temps are now at 60 deg F. Not great, but better than the 110 deg that it gets to sitting in the sun all afternoon. Harbor Freight won't have my guages til Friday so I won't get to do much more for a couple of days...
