R12 ->R134a retrofitted, but I have a question

[flaatr@yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

The outside/recycle air flap should always be in the outside draw position 
in every case except when you have the slider in the MAX A/C position.

50+ PSI sounds odd for the low side. What is the high side pressure? Are 
you measuring this at idle? Does the low side pressure drop as you rev the 
engine.
