[Bricklin] AC question

[Scott Isensee]

Thanks, Chris. One advantage of having been a long time Bricklin owner is that
I have had to make most all the common repairs!


 I wrote an article that appeared in The Brickline a few issues ago describing
in detail how to replace the AC compressor. If you want to stick with the
original style compressor, it is a York T210L. That was used on many Fords
from the 70s and 80s. A direct replacement is a Four Seasons 58064. You can
get one at most any parts store or on Ebay. A brand new one is typically in
the $200-$300 range.

If you want to save money, it isn't hard to do the work yourself. The only
exotic tool you need is a vacuum pump. Many parts stores will loan you one.

You will probably want to convert to Freon 134a since R-12 is so expensive
these days and requires a license to buy. You can get cans of freon 134a at
any parts store or Sam's Warehouse sells the big tanks.

Scott

Hey all.
Really great to see some action happening on here lately.
I would like to just give a public thank you to Scott L.  He's been a wealth
of knowledge, and a tremendous amount of help. Thanks Scott!

I need to replace the AC compressor on my 75. Any suggestions? What's a donor
car, what's the quickest, and most importantly, cheapest way to go about
this?
Thank you guys!
