Default R-12 AC question
Regarding a nice survivor car that has an R12 AC system that is not working properly. Do you bite the bullet and convert to a R134 system? Or suffer in the heat, don't drive the car much in the Summer. Concerned about removing the originality.

Yes, I agree. R12 is superior and is still somewhat available

I am a fan of originality, especially of survivors of course.

Cheers,
Anthony
