jvespey Posted June 25, 2018 Report Share Posted June 25, 2018 Stock '85 model with the L69. Anyone know what the fill amount for R12 is? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad Posted July 6, 2018 Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 The studes that used the York compressor took 3 lbs. I would guess about 1 lb 10oz would be a good starting point, and then check your pressures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted July 7, 2018 Report Share Posted July 7, 2018 Wouldn't an '85 use the GM A-6 compressor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brad Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 I did mention a point where I would start.... It doesn't matter what compressor you are running. The point is to compress the refrigerant so it expands through an orfice, and becomes cooler. You know how much by reading gauges. It wasn't invented by people guessing, and should not be serviced by guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
