1963 Air Conditioning Compressor Repair

[Rogerg]

This issue may have been covered in the past, but my 1963 a/c failed and the diagnosis is a failed compressor.  Does anyone know if someone can repair it or if there is a one for one replacement

If it is a Yorke compressor i'm pretty sure you can still get them. If not it could be a good time to swap to a Sanden.

Finding a rebuilt York compressor shouldn't be difficult.  If you're not concerned about originality I support the above...get a Sanden type compressor...modern, smaller, lighter and more efficient.

Thanks.  I believe a Sanden requires an adapter kit?

[1963r2]

Yes i believe the kits are available

You should be able to find an adapter on Ebay for starters.

I don't believe that any of these "kits" address the Alternator bracket that mounts to the York Style compressor on an Avanti.
