High and Low side a/c

I still use my old R22 / R12 gauges to charge my 69 with R134. I just took an R12 hose and a R134 hose, cut them in half and spliced a R12 half to a R134 half with a brass barbed hose splicer. I use this hose to hook up a R134 can tap to my R12 gauges. Now I can put $5 Walmart R134 in through my R12 gauges. No adapters needed on the car.

You didn't need to do that. I just screwed an R134A to R12 adapter to the manifold center port, than hooked a "quick connect" can and hose to that. But you are right "poor people"
