Hi,

I just had my Automatic Climate Control changed over to R134 and everything worked well but the refrigerant leaked out over night. It turns out my compressor leaks. I'm wondering what the best solution would be. Get my unit rebuilt, buy a rebuilt unit off the shelf or try to find a NOS unit? Does anybody want to weigh in? I also need to know the best places for the service needed or part. 

Thanks
Jeff

If it were my car, I would buy a newer version of the originals. Better output and you know it is new or rebuilt.   Finding a NOS would be near impossible and it will have 60 year old seals.

Sanden makes a compressor that is just like the original a6 I think they call it an s6 bolts right up with the brackets

While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?

Vintage Air AC

Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments

Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC  accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year ,  There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A    What  is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks
