Default Re: 79 GM Air Conditioning

What is the 94? There are a lot of 94 GMs with R-12 in them. Most of the
trucks for one.
The small cans are still available also you just need to have a
certificate to get it. That tag is not hard to get.
http://www.epatest.com/ Will do the job. You need section 609 for
vehicles. Will cost you 20 bucks and is open book to boot.
Not hard at all. I took mine through a local outfit but this looks like
the same test.
