quote:use the larger Sanden SD7H15 compressor.
I installed this unit last year, on the recommendation of John Buckman. Same physical mounting as the older Sanden that has been used for years by Pantera vendors.
If you are replacing the York, you'll need the same adapter plate used and sold by the vendors, and numerous eBay sellers.
It comes with o-ring fittings, but if you still have the stock flare fittings under your dash, all you need is the little "acorn" adapters to convert to serviceable flare fittings.
If you use R-134a then the factory supplied oil is fine. If you are still using R-12, you'll need to drain the factory oil and refill with R-12 compatible oil.
This outfit has sold several units to Pantera owners. They will toss in the adapters if you ask, and their pricing is likely as good as you will find.
