86 Buick century AC question...

[Zombie]

86 Buick century, 3.8 liter FI motor, automatic.

WHICH ************* AC CHARGE PORT IS THE ************ HIGH SIDE?????

SERIOUSLY. The ports are identical. Same size, same thread pitch, and both are coming off the dryer....

No wonder GM is bankrupt. I ***** about chryslers ****, but this is seriously retarded.

I have a can of R12, and the manifolds... I just need to make it cold.

Isn't the high side the one that goes to the condenser in front? I had the same issue when I went to put some R134 in a 87 XJ. Went with the port that went to front, worked. Good luck.

Neither of them point forward...

One points at the firewall, the other at the strut tower.

Next contestant?

Throw a pressure gauge on each one?

Throw a pressure gauge on each one?

Tried that, both are empty. I told my uncle to suck it up and have it converted to R134... no longer my problem.

correct me if iam wrong but shouldn't one be hot and the other be cool?

when i converted my 87 xj i was told the smaller lines are the high pressure and the larger lines are the low pressure side

One should hot and the other warm, yes-but only if there is freon and the compressor is running.
