It's hard to say what they really mean. I took it to mean that they built the SD508 for R12, but that you can put R134a in an SD508 if you're doing a conversion on a car that already has a working SD508 and you don't want to spring for a new compressor. (Check their site and see what you think.)
The SD5H14 info doesn't mention R12 at all period, but says it's built for R134 environments. (Again, check their site and interpret.)
I recall that the kit is $425. But, you'll need a new dryer (as always) and that's $50. The kit includes the compressor, new fittings to put on hoses you'll have to have made locally using the old ones as a pattern, and a bracket to put the compressor on the engine. But, give Rodd a buzz and see.
