I did a frame off on my car and have replaced everything on the A?C system including the POA valve. I bought the last one that my A/c guy had in 2005. I have been reading all the posts here to get info on my problem. Here it is I cannot get the air out of the vents to blow no colder than 60 degrees and most at idle around 70. I have freeze 12 in the system and have charged it with 3.75 lbs of freon. My guages were reading 32-35 on low side and around 225-250 high side at 1500 RPMS . It is 95-98 degrees here in Texas.
I have been reading about the adjustment on the POA valve so I checked mine and it is reading 30. I was gonna try and adjust it to 26 but I did not see an adjustment screw. Is the 7/32 screw in the outlet side of the valve towards the compressor? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Last time I looked, R12 is still available in TX. Charge the system with R12 and you should be good to go.

Freeze12 is not R-12, it's 85% R-134a and you have to use an R-134a compatible dryer and oil. You are not the first to post this. If you used NOS components, may also have a mess on your hands, kind of like filling your gas tank with diesel fuel.
