Following instructions, the gauge showed low pressure. When I added half a can of refrigerant, the pressure on the dial decreased. But the cabin got cooler. After running the a/c for a while the compressor started knocking and the dial swung up and down. then the dial popped off, releasing some oil. Don't trust the gauge!

This kit is nice, but there is more to the conversion than this. The receiver/dryer should be changed before replacing the freon.

        Comments about Interdynamics EZ Chill R-12 to R-134a Recharge and Retrofit Kit:

        The kits brings everything you need to retrofit & convert to R134a, but it only brings straight fittings & no 90 degree fittings which the vehicle I was working on needed. As always do your research before starting to work the car.
