Welcome to this forum! I've renamed your thread, and moved it into the A/C & heater section. Are you connecting it to the low side port? The new cans are R134A refrigerant. Was it converted to R134A from R12? If not, then the fittings are completely different. They make adapters for the conversion, but keep in mind that you can't mix refrigerants.

the high and low side fittings are different sizes (assuming you have been switched the R134 already)

You need to evacuate your system before you even think about charging it.
