I need to vacumn my R134a system, and I have a good vacumn pump, but I
can't find an adapter to go from R22 to R234, does anybody make an
adpter for that?

R 22 and r12 fittings are the same.

Googled: "r12 to r134a adapter"

Sounds like all he's got is the vacuum pump with 1/4" flare
fitting and need a way to connect to the vehicle?

i ran into this exact prob when 134 first came out. i removed the center
fitting from my r12 guages and installed it into my 134 guages. that way
you use your r12 vac pump hose from manifold to pump....on all my guage
sets the threads in the manifolds are identical....of course manufacture's
of vac pumps would prefer you just buy new pump everytime a enviro nazi
comes up with a new brainfart.......kjun

You can buy them from tools suppliers that have both 1/4" and acme
fittings on them also with caps on the unused connector.
