Reply to "Orignal R12 A/C Pressures Readings?"

I really appreciate all the help and great advice, especailly the pressure ranges. As far as adding Freon, seems like the important part is to watch the gauges and add small amounts and not be in a hurry. Checking the sight glass and outlet air temp is good advice also. I think George's method assumes a close eye on the gauge. Some systems will balance out faster than others.
I have shut offs on my heater tubes, so that will make it easy to run some tests. Right now it blows cool, not cold air, and I really just want to find out if it is running as well as it can be given the stock compressor and condensor. At some point I intend to re-build the system with a rotary compressor and possibly a new evap and condensor. My hoses seem to be in great shape.
