A/C Freon capacity

[jeff werner]

Can anyone tell me how many lbs of refridgerant the 63 avanti A/C system holds. Can't find it in the service manual

Jeff,

According to a tag on the pump on my car is should be 3 lbs of R12.

How correct it is, I have no idea as it's my first and I have only had the car a couple of months. For all I know it may have been taken from another car and swapped in place, these York pumps were pretty common in the era

Good luck,

Ken
