Any auto parts stores sells the hi/low side caps. CAP IT IMMEDIATELY! YOU'RE RELEASING CHLOROFLUOROCARBONS AND YOU'RE GOING TO DEPLETE THE OZONE LAYER AND KILL US ALL!!! Just kidding... I would cap it. Someone probably serviced your a/c and forgot to put it back on.

I went to Advanced autos and they did not have the old r12 cap. they have the r134 i believe. Any thoughts of where i can get or order one without have to search through a junk yard.

Contact Aliga on this forum.. he's usually got 2-3 totalled SC300's rolling into the yard every week I'm sure he'd pop one off and put it through snail mail for a small fee.
