Time for Sale?
yeah I didn't know at first that R12 is still available, it just costs a lot more and is harder to find. I've got a friend who is into old Rolls Royce's and he fills them with R12 and they work great, he just pays the $$.
Thankfully my car actually has factory R134a.

Thanks, kensin! Yep, I need whatever info I can collect on the R-12 issue. PM me if you like, or post it here. Summer's coming!
arghx, I had always thought our '94 had R-134A in it, but my Body/Electrical Manual in Section G calls out pressure checks for both R-12 and R-134A. Car was manufactured in Nov. '93, so I guess that was a transition period and we have the "old" stuff, as shown on the hood sticker.

Forgot to add more $$ into the overhaul:
Yoshi's invoice = $10278+
New 99-spec turbo system = $2560
OMP Lines (from Ray Crowe) = $114
R-12 recharge at radiator shop = $240
Total = $13,192
Also FYI Amazon sells R12A "kits," using a legal R12 replacement:
