tinkered with the ac system again, wanted to put dye in the system in case any problems in the future and wanted to figure out the clog in the low side fitting
something got stuffed in the port after the low side fitting must have been when I changed fittings when the older one was leaking
while recharging the system it seemed like the high side had to high of pressure so a friend suggested charging it the "oldschool" way by just grabbing the big thing of r134 and just adding a little watching the pressure gauges equalize repeat until the ac got cold and the pressures low and high were good
