Hey guys & gals,
The York compressor in my '73 2.0 has finally died. I have already changed out the hoses previously to "barrier?" hoses which run 134a freon. I can get another rebuilt York I suppose, but I have heard of rotary compressors working better and using less hp to run. Has anyone already made the changeover? Are there any rotary compressors that fit properly? Do I need mounting brackets? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I live in So. Cal and gas is $4.65 as of today, which means the 914 will be on the road more than the F-150. And it's getting hot here! Scott |

I bought a new Sanden508 off an ebay auction that runs on R134 and a new adapter plate that is made specially to bolt the 508 to the York bracket. Cost for the two with shipping was $200.
Now that I've gone to a v-8, I'm not to sure I will be using the parts. Attached image(s) |
