Today I took my Mark II to my local radiator shop to have my system charged in hopes that it may still be in working order.

Who knows how long my system has been without the R-12 but everything was there and looking to be in good condition.

I know it hasn't been working since I bought 2198 last fall and I was told by a previous owner that it sat in a Museum for quite some time.

On the plate by the window in the front of the trunk, it says to charge the system to a max of 6 Pounds.

We put in 2 pounds to start and watched for the dye to see if there are any leaks in the system,

The system blew 60 degree temp air at idle.

Everything seem to be working OK so we put another 2 pounds of R-12 in and the temp came down some more.

I drove home a happy camper with working air conditioning. Time will tell if there is a small leak somewhere.

I just had to tell someone. Ha
