Where is the high pressure AC port on my car listed above? I cannot find any diagrams online.

Good evening.

It is on the small line which is the high side. It is located by the dryer assembly. I attached a picture for you to view. It is to the left of the number 1.

As a followup, what is the reason you wanted the high side port? Do not attempt to charge the system through it. If the compressor is working the high side pressures can easily blow up the common small cans.

Not doing it with a can, my buddy has a Robinair machine that does it.

Just to reinforce what Steve said, do not charge through the high side unless the engine is not running. If you charge it through the high side with the engine running you will destroy the compressor.
