Re: Ice, Ice, Ice, Baby: Milano AC retrofit

Oops.  I meant to say I used two cans of ES-12a + 2 oz of Proseal = 38 oz. 
We started with three and have one left, so I'm pretty sure that's what I 
did.  But the first can that was added with the engine off, for example, 
not all of it went in (in retrospect, I probably should have fired it up 
before I disconnected the first can, but this is where not knowing what I'm 
doing becomes a factor).  So can anyone tell me roughly what the *running* 
low-side pressure should be?  (And the static low-side pressure for that 
matter.)
