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 aftermarket system on my parts car had a small (maybe 6" diameter) pulley located behind the cooling fan. It replaced the washer/spacer behind the fan. the belt runs out the passenger side of the car, just in front of the oil cooler. Mine had a small idler pulley just below the pulleyon thecompressor. I am not sure if this was to tension the belt, or to raise it a little for clearance purposes. It actually contacted the "V" belt on the outer surface and raised the belt up a little. JoeO
