Hi, where can i buy a new compressor that would work in a 71 Centurion? What is the best source and what ia the best brand? Regards Thomas
The quality of New and Reman A6 compressors seems to be all over the map these days. I've started replacing them with the Sanden based Pro6Ten compressor. It's a direct, bolt in swap and they work very well. When I do purchase a New A6, I usually order from Arizona Mobile Air: http://www.ackits.com/ Good prices, quality parts and excellent customer service. They also sponsor a very DIY friendly discussion forum for Automotive AC repair. For the Pro6Ten, I usually order from Old Air Products: http://www.oldairproducts.com/catalog/index.php The Pro6Ten used to cost more than a New A6, but in getting the links for this post I see that it is now a bit less pricy than the A6. Rebuilts are less, but I've had many shaft seal issues with reman A6's. Hope this helps.
