Default AC high side charging port location?

I can find the low side charging port, on the passenger side front low down dangerously close to the spinning flywheel.

But where's the high side connection, on a 1995 850 Turbo Wagon?

You are only suppose to charge the low side. There is no HIGH SIDE charging port. Yes, it may shave a few hairs off your fingers. LOL

Yup, there is no high side port on my 850. I had someone challenge me on it and I went over that high side end to end as every other vehicle with AC from back in the fifties up to the present has always had both. The 850 does not.

If you managed to hook up to the high side to try and charge your system the only thing you'd do is have the can blow up in your hand. The freon cans aren't strong enough to handle the higher pressure.
