I considered that the dark radiator has an effect on the coolant. The
bright green when in the radiator is almost clear in a coolant tester.
However, what's in the expansion tank is darker. The original problem has
been fixed. The flushing I did definitely helped. I'm not expecting 100%

because the system can hold vacuum doesn't mean it can hold pressure, and

Where do you get the nitrogen and the right fittings to connect it to the
A/C gauge set?

You can get the nitrogen cylinder/pressure regulator from any welding shop.
I can't remember if I even needed an adapter to connect it to manifold
gauges. Having the nitrogen is also nice as a portable air source if you
need to air up tires farther than your air compressor hose will reach
