it is R12, and I have the manifold gauges and the ambient temperature is going to be 86°. I just don’t know on this old Jeep what the high-pressure and low pressure readings should be when fully charged

Is it already empty? If so, after evacuating, it takes 38 oz of R-12 for a full charge.

Unless you already have the R-12, I suggest you convert to R-134a while you still can as even R-134a is being phased out.
My '88 is still R-12 and I have 3 cans left that I bought quite a while ago..Even though I'm Sect 608 certified and can purchase R-12, it's gotten to expensive to maintain. Once my supply of R-12 is gone, I'm converting.

Thank you Saudade, there is still some pressure in the system. I have never converted a 12 to 134a before, what is involved in doing so?
