Thanks, Kevin. I bought a new Four Seasons 58064 AC compressor which is the
equivalent of the York T210L. It just arrived today and looks identical. The
clutch should be a Four Seasons 48812. I have that ordered and am still
waiting for it.
I plan to replace the compressor and recharge the system myself. I haven't
done this before, but I have a vacuum pump to evacuate the system and a tank
of R-12 freon I bought years ago. I understand oil needs to be added to the
compressor. Can anyone tell me the type and amount or oil to add? Do I add
that before evacuating the system or would the vacuum suck the oil out? If
needs to be added after evacuating the system, how is that done without losing
vacuum?
Scott

The compressor part # is York T210L.
I have not actually purchased the compressor w/ clutch but my previous
research lead me to part # TEM258114.
This is a York compressor with Tube-O Fittings, L.H. Suction. The
actually type of fitting on the compressor is still a bit of a mystery
to me because I can't seem to get confirmation if it is supposed to be
Tube-O or Roto-lock. They both look similar to me and maybe both were
used at various times during the cars production. That wouldn't
surprise anybody, would it?
Anyway, perhaps this is a point of reference for you.

Thanks, John.
Here is a picture:
http://gallery.me.com/scottisensee#100036/IMG_6983
The bare metal pulley is the original Bricklin AC clutch. It has a
single
pulley and a larger diameter section that I imagine serves as a
balancing
weight. Next to it, I am holding an AC clutch that I picked up from a
parts
store to see if it would work. That's black and has two pulleys. It is
narrower than the Bricklin clutch so neither pulley aligns with the
belt.
I can get just a compressor and move the old clutch to it, but the
bearings
are sounding a little rough so I would prefer to replace the clutch too.
I can
try to match it by picture, as you suggest, although most of the parts
stores
around me are staffed by high school kids who only know how to look
parts up
by make and model using the computer.
I am hoping someone has the part number for a compressor with clutch
installed that would be a direct replacement.
I'll let you know once I have it worked out so you can put part numbers
in the
parts list on the website.

Scott,
Sorry I can't be much help. I tried to do some searching online for
York ac
compressors.
But didn't see anything like what we need.
Can you find a picture of just the clutch in the auto parts stores paper
catalogues?
If so, you may have to get the compressor and then a clutch. Can you
order
just
the compressor without the clutch?
What's different about the clutches?
You might also want to check to see if you have any industrial AC supply
houses in your
area. They may be able to get you what you need. Just check the prices
first.
Keep us posted.
