    66 289 Coupe A/C

    I am just about to get the A/C re gassed in my 66 Coupe and converting from R12 to 134.
    Anyone have an idea on how much refrigerant it requires?
    Thanks for any help.

    I do not know about the R134a, but my 66 with R-12 took exactly two 12 ounce cans.  I doubt they are equal, though.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    IIRC, the R134 charge is approximately 80% of the R12 capacity......best to google to confirm....
