Take it to a professional. Plus you need the expensive R12 unless you are converting over to R34.

Wow, you obviously DON'T need to be doing this. You NEVER charge on the high side of the system. If you don't even kow where the high side is you especially shouldn't be doing this. And who told you that you need to refill? If you have to fill up again you have a leak somewhere. And with R-12 costing upwards of $50 a pound right now I would get the leak fixed first and then have a PROFESSIONAL recharge the system for you.

No No!!
Recharging a/c systems are always done on the low side.

Take it to an A/C service center to discharge and recharge it properly.

If you haven't retrofitted your A/C yet then you're going to have to take it to a shop to get the RC12 or whatever 12 type of freon needed to refill the coolant.
