piecing together an A/C

Post by **FORDification** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 8:49 pm

Every time I think I've seen about every variety of vintage dealer-installed A/C setup, I run across another one. This one's listed on Ebay. The seller says it was removed from a '69, but it took me several minutes checking it out to find out how it even fits....I mean, it's such a wierd configuration. Then it dawned on me....this one appears to be set up to use the stock truck's blower motor! Interesting idea.

I just scored a parts truck that has an A/c unit in it. The compressor is set for v belt but was not hooked up. It also has controls built into the regular vent/ fan controls. I assume this was a factory setup???? It has a slider under the unit to switch from Heater to Def/AC. Is there an easy way to test the compressor and the rest of the unit to determine if it works?

If the controls are built in like that, I would say you have a factory set up.
I don't know how you would test the compresor without hooking it up and charging the system, though.
I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I on this subject will be along shortly to help you, though.

as far as gharging it owuldn't you just have to test the pressure the compressor put out after all its just a pump. a high pressure one but its a pump.
