Under Pressure

It turns out that Harvey's Equinox uses the exact same high-pressure port as The Beast.

This is good because her AC appeared to be leaking at the HP port as well and I'd ordered both the GM part and the Dorman.

The Dorman has a good old fashioned Schrader valve in it!  That one went into The Beast.  Genuine GM into her car.

Marv brought over his gauges and vacuum pump to facilitate the refilling with refrigerant.

Both cars got the pressures we were looking for and the temperatures desired.

Well, not desired.  I froze poor Marv's nipples off on the Equinox test drive and getting 43° air blasting on your chest is not pleasant.

The Beast can get to 43° too, but I also tested to make sure it'd hold the intended temperature using the 'auto' mode.
