Just a suggestion but for classic cars, without ABS, DOT5 (silicone) brake fluid is really worth it, but if you want to stick with etherglycol I highly recommend the brand Pentosin. Also you should really draw refrigerant systems down to absolute vacuum for 30mins before filling them.

Kevin up to the point where you purged the line to your manifold gauges, you were golden. Next time, with the AC off open up your high side & dump as much refrigerant in as it will take. Then fire up the AC & finish charging slowly through the suction side. Like any compressor, they aren't designed to pump liquid. I watch the show religiously, love it. Hope this helps.

Little tip for pouring from those cans, or from 5 gallon buckets. Pour with the spout at the TOP instead of the bottom. This gives a path for air to get in that isn't pushing past fluid, causing the inconsistent "blup blup" flow of liquid.

Hey Kevin. On the AC, pull your vacuum, charge as much as you can on the high side without the car running. Close your high side valve, start the car with the AC on full and finish charging on the low side. But, I'm sure you either know that or have already been told 1000 times.

You guys probably hydro locked the ac compressor slightly when you pierced the can on its side and bent a rod. Technically you’re supposed to have the can upright so it’s mostly gaseous and tilt the can to slowly add liquid. Lots of pumps were designed for abuse so most of the time you can get away with it, but cheap remans are probably not in that camp. At least you can switch it out easy and don’t have to remove the water pump/exhaust header like on the corvette I’ve been working on.
