Not sure I would want the original compressor. The adjustment ear is broken off and missing as well as the idler pulley assembly. My understanding is these type aren't rebuildable. I included a pic of an original compressor with idler assembly. The idler assembly appears to be part of the compressor...

Not offended. I limit images per post because people like to post 40 images without making them a reasonable size. 38 of the images don't even pertain to the information needed. Glad to hear there is no offense taken. Apparently just someone trying to stir a pot, that's empty. Lol I didn't even wan...

Well said, Tim. Hopefully you are not too offended..... I think he owes you an apology Offended because I stated about the forum being outdated when it comes to uploading pics?? That's just crazy. I don't owe anyone an apology for stating factual things. Had I lied, yes, I'd be a douchebag. No idea...

Can only add 3 pics at a time and they have to be extremely small file size. This forum is highly outdated. Lol

Guess more work to get some pics up.

Peak hp is at 4k rpm. I will measure the crank pulley and the original compressor pulley. Several have driven modern compressors on the OE packard crank pulleys with no issue with add on under dash units. A club member has a 54 car like mine that he put a modern compressor on but kept the rest of th...

Well, the engine matters. We can get two pages into a system like this and find out it is an LS swap. Wasted time. BTDT Nope, all stock and all origin but the carpet and a repaint. If I was modernizing the car, it would get in dash AC. Engine speed range and drive sizes matter. If you don't have en...

Looks like most of what you are keeping is the OEM evaporator and air handling. Correct, maybe the original expansion valve. Let's start with the obvious question. Is the Original Straight 8 engine in the car? Don't see how this matters, but yes. The original 327 cubic 4 barrel carb, 180hp. Is the ...
