- 1971 Mach 1, Grabber Blue w/Argent stripes. Original 2V 351C Auto, Tilt, rear defog, Black Comfortweave Interior. Under restoration. Original colors, 4V 351C, 4-Speed, Spoilers, Magnums, Ram Air. All Ford parts.
OK, AC Compressor time!
I have 3 compressors here, not sure what the internal status is of any of them as I don't recall which one came off my car. I have 2 1972 date codes, one 73 date code on the compressor, and mine is an 11/70 Build date. Clutch Inertia Ring Part Numbers I have a 71 PN and a 72 PN.
I probably replaced the compressor long ago when I was driving it in the 80's, I cant recall. So here is my question for the group.
1) Classic Air has new Yorks for $270 with a 90 day warranty.
2) Rock Auto has new Yorks through 4-Seasons products for about $170 with a year warranty
3) There are rebuild gasket sets on line for $35
I have never rebuilt a compressor and do not know the challenges behind all the bolted covers on those things. I am mechanically inclined and and do need to save money. Considering I don't have the correct date code anyway, why should I not buy the Rock Auto compressor. My car is too far from original to pass the correct date code test anyway.
Thanks for the help!
