For that ambient temp, you should be seeing 28-30 # low side. No bubbles.

Hi all,

Here's what I did and found today on the 66 Monza A/C.

Ambient temp: 80 degrees

Static pressure: 84 psi

Added seals to condenser, taped up all holes (not many), and ran hoses thru
back-up light and sealed off. Engine running approx 2000 rpm, low side
pressure was 10 psi, high was 130 psi, output temp 80 degrees, with bubbles
in sight glass. Added small amount of R-12, maybe 1/2-1 pound, and readings
went to 18 psi low, and 150 psi high. Output temp now 74 degrees and still
has bubbles in sight glass. I'm not sure I should keep adding since I'm
already above the 14 psi recommended by the manual for this ambient temp,
but what else could be happening? In order for me to hit the 35 degree level
on the gauge, it would need to have a low side reading of 30 psi, well above
the manual. I'm down to my last bit of
R-12 and could probably only do one more evac and recharge, so I want to be
fairly accurate with whatever I do next.
