Maybe this should be in the FE forum, maybe not.

My truck came with factory A/C- its a '73 F100 4x4 XLT Ranger with a 360 (390 almost built.... its gonna rock!!!!). Somewhere along the line a PO gave up on trying to keep the a/c from leaking and took it out- he removed the compressor and mounts, and cut the hoses- a**hole. I recently had a talk with a friend-of-a-friend who is a 30+ year ford tech here in ABQ. He told me the York compressors don't like to seal with R134a, so maybe I should consider fabbing mounts for a more modern compressor. Does anyone have any experience with this? Have a favorite compressor? Know of a seal kit that shores up a York compressor to be compatible with (cheap) 134A refrigerant?

 

Anybody?????????

 

the york comperssors have no problem with r134, they have used them om semi's with no unsual leakage. maybe he was thinking of old comperssors with old seals
