A/C Filling tube won't attach.

Alright, I answered my own question. Since my car is a 93 is had r-12 in it. The tube I have originally came with an adaptor for the old fittings, but they are long gone. Unfortunately, it looks like I have to buy the whole f$*#ing kit, of which I already have every part (2 cans of frean and a tube) except for the little adaptor. 60 bucks for a 2 dollar part. Jesus.

R12 is no longer available to the public. Most likely what you bought is R134a. DO NOT put that into an R12 system.

DANWEC.....PM me.....I have an R-12 fill kit, with a can of R-12, that you can have for shipping cost. (It's one of the all-in-one kits supplied with a variety of marine refrigeration units, but the low side fill fittings are the same.) I also have a commercial set of R-12/R-22 gauges and hoses, if anyone's interested. Also have a 15 lb. flask of Dupont R-12, unopened. It's worth a small fortune......PM me. I believe you can convert to R-134 at some cost.....

Ok.. I have the story now. This was already converted over to R-134a, but the previous owner took the adaptor off and put it on his other car. SO I still just need the damn fitting adaptor.
Submariner- Thanks very much for the offer, I really appreciate it. I won't need it since because of what I just discovered- I think. I'll PM you in a little bit if I figure more out.
Thanks again.

It can't be that warm (yet) in Windsor. (Except for the black flies....) Scrounge the local wrecking yards for an early '90's vehicle with a conversion kit for 134a......if all else fails.

You should be able to go to a parts store and buy a conversion kit that has the fittings you need for not too much money.
They might even have just a pair of adapters.

Black flies?? Damn, none of those until you go north about 6 hours. We've had several days gettin to the 80's. It will be stuffy and hot very soon. Needed A/C once or twice.
Good idea about scrounging a junkyard, except we have the worst yards in the planet here. There are a handful in the area, but you might as well be buying new parts. They are very expensive, and forget finding just that elusive a small part (even if they have 20 of them there)- they all have a minimum $20 yard charge tha they will nail you with even if you are buying a pigtail or a bolt, and you don't EVER go into the yard- they don't let you near it. I hate them. Makes me very envious of the guys who have access to the yards in the rest of the country/world. lol I've even driven to London (2 hours away) a few times just to wander through the yards that are there (much better)

The search continues. Thanks guys.

Go to a local auto parts store like Oreilly Auto or Advance Auto Parts. The sell just the adatpers. They come in a blister pack made by Interdynamics. They should only be about $8-10. Both High and low side adapters are in the pack. You could also look around on ebay and might find them cheaper.
