Monarch,
Thanks so much for your help! I got certified from one of the links you gave me, got 2 cans of R12 at Pep Boys, (at $35 each but still cheaper than the $75/lb the Toyota dealer was going to charge me) followed your directions, and put one in and it is pretty cold. The sight glass still has bubbles but it got dark outside so I will finish it in the morning. Your picture was extremely helpful!
I'll get some R12 on ebay for the future, and also charge my buddy's van.
By the way I read for the certification exam while sitting next to the pool at the local waterpark yesterday after working out and going to a pro tennis tounament. After buying the R12 today I took some friends out on my boat, then charged my car after I got home, so I was able to enjoy the weekend and also charge my A/C.
