Question Refilling ac?

I bought a giant bottle of 134a refill and leak sealant just to find out the quick release that came with the refill is meant for larger ac ports. I have done searches on this subject but all i could find was 12a to 134a conversion threads. Its ******* hot in texas and i would like a reasonable solution to cool my ******* ***** off. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unless your '93 has been converted, you have a R12 system (i.e. you bought the wrong stuff).

First off, leak sealer is a good way to ruin your system. It has been known to harden and form blockages in parts of the system.

Secondly, your system is probably R-12, and you won't be able to service it with anything you can buy over the counter at the auto parts store. Take it to a shop that specializes in A/C work and have them fix the leak and recharge it.

Not at all...if you're certified, you can do it yourself, although I wouldn't recommend it...A/C repair is not a task for the clueless.

I have a 93 and mine is 134. I just filled mine and found 2 leaks. 1 was the schrader valve on the high side and the other where the rubber o-rings where the lines go into the dryer. Now i can see my breath when its right next to the vent.
