A/C High side port question #1073674 08/14/14 02:45 AM

I went to pull a vacuum on my 89 3.0 monty today but the high side port is a different smaller size than the suction port and my r12 manifold hose doesn't fit. It does fit the suction side.
Anyone know what size/thread that high side port is? I'd rather adapt that port to my hoses than get a 134a retro fitting kit and borrow another 134 manifold just to pull a vac.
Thanks
Mike

I thought that R12 ports used a standardized threaded connector, and R134 ports were a quick release connector - completely different designs to prevent using the incorrect type of refrigerant?

It was a safety measure to keep consumers from blowing up their can..that much i do know. My 86 trooper high and low are the standard r12 fitting.
