I’d do it myself but R12 isn’t just laying around on any old shelf anymore. Anybody have some or know of a place that has some/will charge it?

Thanks in advance.

Tasty.

The HVAC system in my car is ridiculous (“ahead of it’s time” in 1984, meaning it is overcomplicated and now most likely doesn’t work correctly), so converting it is out.
