I also need a compressor and a few other AC parts as mine are oddly missing. I am not sure which model I need; can anyone point me at a good rebuild/service article of discussion of how to renovate our AC systems...R134 or not, etc...
This is the compressor I have on my car. Its orinally a r12 pump but my lines have r134 charge ports. Is any one using r134 with this pump. If i put r134 in and the oil in compressor is for r12 then it is bad. But r12 can be put in a pump using r134 oil. Some of these old pmps can not be used with 134.at all. Any one know if 134 can be used in this pump?
I guess a can drain and refill with r12 oil and but a new dryer and expansion valve. R12 all the way.

sold the one i had
I also have one from my '74 that is yours (or anyone's) for the cost of shipping. I could use it for a boat anchor, but I don't have a boat!No guarantee of condition, as the AC was leaking when I got the car, so I just rebuilt the entire system using a genuine Sanden
i have sent him mine so no need to continue post comments
Gary,
Do you still have that boat anchor Bosch compressor? I am interested. Thanks Paul Cain
Paul,
Yes, and it is yours for the cost of shipping. Heading out to DC for a few days, and I'll weigh it upon return. If you'll send me your zip code, I'll give you an estimate on shipping cost (FedEx probably).
Cheers,

Outrageous price for a used and antiquated compressor
Good to know, I'm new at this. I actually have one on my 2800cs but my gas mileage plummeted when put a belt on it.
Then the compressor may be working, but the clutch isn't.
In any case, if you intend to actually use the AC, you should consider a switch to a modern compressor like a Sanden...generally under $200 brand new.
What does it take to swap in the Sanden - is there other stuff involved or does it just swap in?
A/C Install in a CSi
OK, I've done the major Google search but it seems either the thread stops for some reason or there are no pictures of the work done. Apparently several people have done this conversion but we have little documentation to show for it (maybe it didn't work!) Anyway, I'm planning on doing just...

Lots of info on this site. Search "AC Upgrade" or "AC compressor "
I have one too from the 35k car.
Don't know if it works but thought someone might want it someday. I do have a boat but it weighs almost as much. LOL.
Why are we all keeping these? Probably get more as salvage than selling.
