Use Freeze 12 in the R12 system. Works much better than R134a, and you don't need to screw with the valves.

+1 for Freeze12. Used it in many a car. Works like a champ.

I can't tell you where to find the part as I live in the UK, but I got my '93 Miata converted from R12 to R134a about 6 months ago.

The condenser was replaced and adapters have been installed to be compatible with the new gas fittings (so that R134a service equipment can plug into the AC system)

Overall it works quite well, although the temperatures don't go as low as they used to (this may only matter when sitting in traffic, as it gets cooler at speed).

Yup, freeze 12 is compatible with R12 systems. Just fill and go.

edit - or grow a pair and take the AC system out..

Freeze 12 has worked well for me too, although I have never used it in a Miata.
Whatever you do, dont put R134 in a R12 Miata system. That sucks *****. I have
owned numerous R134 converted Miatas and none of them cool worth a ****!

I have Freeze12 running through my a/c system too with no complaints. Its not freezing cold, but its way better than not working at all.

thanks for all the reply people!!

it help a lot!

im back for another question

we dont have a high pressure relief valve on our AC system rite!!!

R12 works well because pressure isn't really important. Freeze12 is slightly more picky about getting pressure correct. 134a pressure is critical. If converted and pressurized with 134a absolutely properly, then it will blow cold. Not as cold as R12, but pretty close.

And then there is always bootlegged R-12 out there if you look hard enough.
