ANy Experience w/ Four Seasons Compressor

Hi All,

I am looking at replacing my old stock A/C compressor w/ Four Seasons compressor w/ Clutch

http://www.amazon.com/Four-Seasons-58022-Compressor/dp/B004AF76PS

I could not find reviews on Four Seasons products.

Has anybody used this or any other compressor from them. Any feedback

Thanks

Rush

Four Seasons used to have a good reputation...not so good anymore.

No reason to ever get a reman'd unit anymore...brand new compressors are not much more than most reman'd units these days.

Kit,

I thought it was new. Even Summit Racing has this one (they maybe selling it on amazon)

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fss-58022

It does not say re-manufactured (other compressors on Summit Racing do)

But if Four Seasons is not good...then it does not matter.

the other option was

But it does not have the clutch.

Don't rely solely on my statements: Four Seasons may now sell brand new and excellent compressors. They have been around for a long time and it makes sense they would also sell new units since evereyone else does too.

My main opinion is that I would not buy any reman'd unit, as the price difference between that and a new one is minimal most times.

The advent of ISO-XXXX manufacturing capability world-wide has brought the state of manufacturing almost anything to an exceptionally higher standard than just a few years ago, with a dramatic decrease in cost.

But, you know what? Somehow, it not all better to me. Stuff just doesn't have the same human-installed "soul" it did in years past.

Somehow the flaws and uniqueness of hand or near-hand assembly added a value beyond its mere function.

Can't explain it, its just how I feel about most things.

1973stang,

As you stated, I also could not find much. I would recommend Classic Auto Air. They specialize in the classic mustangs A/C and provide conversions also.
