Re: 1992 Jeep Air Conditioner Conversion
This is a fairly easy conversion, assuming that you have all the proper
tools. You won't like the result though. R134a doesn't cool worth a damn
in R12 systems. I am almost ready to drive my Suburban down to Mexico and
get it converted back.

When your conversion was done, it may not have been done properly. I'm lucky
to have a best friend who does A/C conversions in his business, and when he
did my conversion, I didn't notice any decrease in cooling. I'm a dummy when
it comes to A/C, but he said something about a variable orifice valve or
tube that he changes when he does the conversion. Apparently this makes
quite a difference because my air is colder than I need. I'll try to get
more details about it to see if it is something that is common for all A/C
systems.

I already installed the proper variable orifice valve...
