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 |

The adapter bracket in Computers4kids post is available for $45 on e-bay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/York-to-San...emZ190138009435 I just wonder if it fits the York bracket used for the 914 A/C kits used by the dealers and how the Sanden compressor fits relative to the big York. I would like to know how much engine sheet metal needs to be cut or reshaped. I guess you just have to give it a shot....
