i just bought a 92, and I’m guessing the R12 needs to be recharged, that being a problem with all the R134 around. Anybody know a shop that’ll still do R12. Also i hear Hydrocarbon works, i think it comes in a thing that looks like a spray can. Any help?

Don’t bother looking for R12. Just convert…
