Need Air Conditioning Help

quote:

an aftermarket compressor used in hot rods

These are almost always cheap China copies, nice chrome but lousy unit.

If you want to roll the dice, go for it. Otherwise, seek out a genuine Sanden style SD508 unit.

They come in both flare and o-ring fitting types. And in R12 and R134a types.

This info is correct for Panteras. I suspect the Goose also used the same York compressor.

To use the rotary, you need a common york to sanden adapter plate. Any good ac shop should be able to supply it, or it is usually found on eBay.

Good luck,

Thanks for the help and part numbers. I will go with the Sanden 508 compressor.

Bob,

The condenser hangs out in the breeze on a Goose! No box! Fan hangs on threaded rod that is bent and welded to various places.

Drier is a standard auto item. Shouldn't be a problem to get.

Depending on your refrigerant intentions, you may need to install "barrier" type hoses throughout. Not needed for R12, but recommended for newer chemicals.

Make sure you get the proper Sanden pump for the intended chemicals, as the seals can vary some....I believe. They do have one that will do both R12 or ???? I bought that one but am still running R12, and installed barrier hoses.

As for the starter solenoid, this is from another Gooser way back!

"That was me on the solenoid thing. I got mine from Moss motors (www.mossmotors.com).
It was part #546-020. The funny thing is that you can't find it by searching the part number in the on-line catalog. You have to go to the early E-type section and poke around until you get a diagram of the starting system. In the upper left part of the diagram is a sketch of the solenoid..I think it was keyed item #25....anyway there is a parts list below the diagram where the number and price show up. It's not identical, but very close. Only the button is different, and it works like a charm."

Hope it works out for ya!!!
