AC Compressor Questions
I am looking to get the AC working on my 72 Cheyenne and have some questions.
First of all, I will say, I am putting the parts together to make this 100% original as it came in 1972. I know they are prone to problems but I am OK with that. I am searching for a compressor and wondering what other compressors will work? I have what I believe is a compressor from a 1978 pick up and other than the factory ID sticker, it looks to be the same. Thank you for your time. |

Re: AC Compressor Questions
If you have the long comp., the A-6, they are everywhere in used condition & are pretty much all enterchangeable. The pulleys can vary & clock position of the clutch wire connector can be different. These can be changed with the proper tools. If the 78 is the short R-4 comp. then it is not original to the 72.

Re: AC Compressor Questions
If you want a good reman A-6, get one that was done in the USA. They are the only ones I have found that won't lose the seal in a year.

Re: AC Compressor Questions
There is a ten piston direct interchangeable compressor that guys say is the shizz. I think it's called an A-10.

Re: AC Compressor Questions
The problem is he wants it to be "100% original"
But if you paint it black most people wouldn't know the difference. I bought mine from  Amazon
