Re: POA valve test?

Try cooling down the condenser with water, like the garden hose. You definitely need a lot of air flow with 134
250psi isn't out of sight with 134, it does run higher pressure on the hi side than R12.
What's your fill amount? Generally you want 80% of the R12 amount as a starting point.
When I converted my POA system in my 68 Cadillac it would run hi side pressures like that at a stop. I added a pusher fan and it helped but I really needed a parallel flow condenser.
