1987 240 with original a/c system. Has (1) recently added port on the back of the compressor which I am assuming is an r-134 port. I poked the needle valve with my finger and there is pressure in there + some neon green stuff. I replaced some crappy wiring and the thermostat switch with capillary tube and the a/c now cuts on when I turn it from 0 > results in no cold air but no crazy noises either.
I have no idea what I am doing and seeking guidance. I am considering ordering either an r12 alternative redtek or duracool kit to try and charge it. I know Impvolvo has some red/blue a/c lines that he said I could use to charge it as well if I got the stuff.
On the flip side, a shop said that they could charge it with r134 for ~$180.
Since there is pressure in there, I am assuming it is not leaking.
That's where I am at. I completely new to messing with A/C systems but this is the fiance's vehicle and it needs to work.
Suggestions and guidance are greatly appreciated.
