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 |

For anyone using this for reference as I did. My car has the VPC system. I got a Sanden 505 and York to Sanden bracket. I had to cut a slot in the bracket to make it work but it put the pulley almost in the exact same location. I got the stock size belt to fit but it is tight with none of the adjustment spacers installed. I would have purchased a one inch longer belt had I known. Now I just need to replace the hoses and charge the system.
