[DeTomaso] R/12 substitute

[bill gaino]

Merino also asked why I wanted the 134a compressor that was out of stock. He tried to pursuade me to use the r12 compressor and the Freeze 12. I told him that the r12 is a thing of the past. I am very pleased using 134a and if I leak a can a year it only costs $4.99 to refill. There are other advantages with the lubricants and sealers you can put in the system. Bill
