Hey all,

I'm working on adding a Nostalgic Air system I have laying around on my 76 F250, and I'm trying to find the right mounts. I looked into this a couple years back but when I went back to look at my threads I can't figure out what I was looking at....

I have a 300, and unfortunately Nostalgic Air doesn't offer a kit for installing their Sanden compressors. What they do offer, is this


A plate that mounts to a stock York/Techumseh A/C bracket and allows me to mount my Sanden compressor.

---
Years ago I got a part number from Mike0o0o0o0, but I'm not sure what the bracket looks like and what it came off of. I'm also not sure what a stock 300 A/C bracket looks like (1 piece? 3 piece?)

-D7TZ-2882-A

If there's something from a late model car/truck/van or an earlier model car/truck/van, I'm more than down for using it. If anyone could shed some light on this I'd really appreciate it.


Thanks
Jameson

 

1977/79 F100/350 & Econoline 300 I-6 with factory installed integral A/C

 

Bill, do you by chance have a diagram for that?


Thanks
Jameson

 

Nope, I looked before posting post #2...didn't find one that matches the bracket applications.

The only 300 I-6 pic is for dealer installed A/C that uses a different bracket.

 

Hmm... I'll email the shop that has one in stock and see if they can send me a picture of it. Thanks for looking that up

Or if anyone else here has a picture of factory installed air on a 300, I'd love to see the bracket.


Thanks
Jameson

 

Here are the pictures I got from the seller. It looks like there's other brackets that go with it, because it doesn't have the mount holes on the top

 

This is what I have:

 

It looks like the bracket you're looking for comes on a mid-eighties pick up with the 300 6 cylinder.
Here's a fairly long thread on the Sanden compressor on 300/6. It mainly for an underdash bumpside model but the bracket info should be the same.

Bullnose era but the cast iron 'main' bracket appears to be the same. This was in use until 1982.



Around '82/'83, the brackets went to an all stamped steel design until the 300 became the EFI 4.9L in '87 and the front accessories went to serpentine drive and completely different brackets.



The compressors on these were Ford FS-6 units.
