The only refrigerant they sale is the new R12a. I've been looking in internet, and I cannot seem to find a r134a to r12a conversion kit. What are my options...how do I get my 95 mustang a/c running again? Is there anybody else with this same problem?
Thax for the help.

I agree with the others, someone at NAPA has got their info confused. R12a had been phased out due to the damage it caused to the ozone layer and stuff like that.
Even so, I cannot see a fine that high when up until it was phased out here in the US, you could buy cans of R12a and can still buy cans of R134 regularly at any parts store.
I believe the regulations reagarding R12 (and probably R134 as well) is that you cannot SELL it without a proper license, possesing and/or buying it is not illegal so long as the person(s) selling it was/is licensed (I could be wrong, but I do believe that is the way it was once explained to me).
