That's what my dad said about Fords, back in the day. I bought a few
anyway. 8^) My only regret was buying a 55 Ford and finding that the same

New models have an external high pressure pump. Dropping the tank on a
pick up is too easy, unless your pump goes out when the tank is full.

If you look at the Pro-Kool R134 recharge system, you have to manually
pull a trigger to reload the system. Don't know how anyone could connect
to the R134 port and not get it right. R12, yeah that happened a lot...
