Default I need a pic of where to hook the r 134a hose

Either I'm blind or two hoses don't work. I thought the lower port for it was right under the radiator cap. I tried between the ac canister but that was too loose. The one under the cap was too big. I can't find another port. Thanks for any help and sorry for sounding like a bonehead lol.

There are only 2 ports- high side and low side. On my LT1 it's near the accumulator (silver can)- between that and the expansion valve. Usually low side port is on it or close to it. The port by the radiator is the high side port. Are you sure your gauge has the right connector on it? R12 and R134 are different sizes.

I only see two ports. One between the accumulator and the one below the radiator cap. Neither will fit the hose clamp. I'm lost lol.

its on the accumulator, you have to unscrew the black cap and should fit right on.
