I'm having some serious trouble locating a york 210 compressor around here.I've searched through the local junkyard and phoned several others.I think the biggest issue is that,while I've been told that they are found on early 80's fords,I don't know what specific models they are in and that really throws a kink into things when on the phone with a wrecker cuz they want specifics.
Early 80's F150s are very common around here so those are the main ones I've looked in,but they are all the motocraft style.
If anyone can narrow down the year and model for me I'd really appreciate it!

You can also get them from a big rig junk yard or store. Thats where i got mine from they are also on ebay but shipping will probably be more than the actual compressor cost. Make sure that when ever you do buy one you do the oil fix. This will save a whole lot of hassle and its very simple to do.

P.S.If you dont have tanks you can also look at the big rig they are usually pretty cheap.

heres the web page on the fix: Oil fix link

thanks el curioso appreciate the reply.I found this site last night which helped alot too,just in case anyone else is in the same boat .http://www.gmvanforums.com/modules.p...=article&sid=6
Now the new dilemma is that I found one off a 79 t-bird but it's a motocraft not a york.It looks exactly the same but will it work?I bought it just in case cuz they weren't wanting much for it and it pumps strong and has a good clutch.
I'm wondering if the yorks came on american vehicles not canadian?
Thx for the link too,I'll be checking that out too!

after exploring over the weekend,it looks like this compressor has the same identifying features as the york 210.Yippee.

gringoloco · 10-23-2006, 04:36 AM

Got mine from a '79 T-bird. It's a 210. Check the crank snout when you pull the pulley off- if it's squared off- you've got a 210.

Rollie396 · 10-23-2006, 04:40 AM

thanks gringoloco.That's what I was going by but the motorcraft tag threw me.I will tell ya that that tag will be removed.No way am I gonna advertise that there's a ford part on this truck

63sbssbbw · 10-23-2006, 09:57 PM

the york that I have was dealer installed at Wolfe chev/olds in Vancouver BC on my '78 olds cutlass with a 305
need a cluch for it though
i'm thinking they probably came on just about everything
seeing they were interested in selling AC systems not cars
justMHO
thanks T

Rollie396 · 10-24-2006, 01:21 AM

That's interesting 63sbssbbw.I didn't think they were found on any gms,factory or dealer.
Have to check out that 63 sometime,it looks real straight!

LUV2XCLR8 · 10-24-2006, 04:39 PM

Mine was off a volvo, IIRC from what the PO said about it, I'm still searching
for brackets pre-made for the passenger side of the engine, I can find them
for the drivers side, but nobody seems to make any for the passenger side

el curioso · 10-24-2006, 09:13 PM

I fabed my own brackets. Ill post the page where I got the dimmensions from

For those still needing a york I will double check the part numbers at work tomorrow and post them.

63sbssbbw · 10-29-2006, 10:00 AM

Thanks Rollie ,it is REAL straight and no bondo, speaking of brackets
I still have all the brackets,tension pulley etc.if you need dimensions or anything.
I live by Wendy's and I'm in the book,we'll have to get together for a brewski and shoot the sh#@ for a while.
