there were no service ports on the rear of this sanden model or of the nippon denso that I also tried. They are simple too long for my car. I did find a Seltec TM-08HD that is small enough but it has a capacity of 82 cc/min and a York has about 130 cc/min. I am not going down in capacity. |

Did you remove the service ports from the back of the compressor? I removed the service ports from my compressor and had ports installed in the hoses. My conversion was on a 78' 308 GTS. |

Hmmmmm not sure. I have not installed it yet. I have held it up in place and it seems to fit ok. Will be installing it later this week and I will let you know. |

Terry,
I still have a problem. The space between my engine (belt cover) and the gas tank is 234 mm. The belt runs on the pulley 40 mm from the face. This leaves 194 mm from the belt V to the rear of the compressor. The sanden is 190 mm and so the space is too small.
My car is a 1975 308 GT4. Is the spacing different for your car? I thought they were very close.

No idea on a part number on the bracket, still trying to find one of those myself. Many of the AC shops I have called just say "huh?" and have no idea what I am talking about.
Compressor is Sanden SE5 for 134a #4509

Terry,
Would you post the part number of the rotary compressor. I have not been able to find the post you are referring to. The part number of the bracket also.
Thanks |

I have seen two clogged driers on 308s and it appears that the dessicant bag inside the unit ruptured and in turn clogged the expansion valve inlet screen. I am using a Honda Accord drier on my car with excellent results. |

All a receiver is .is an empty can. The drier while is common practice to replace,if you evacuate system deep and maintain it is ok to leave on.To date I have not witnessed a bad drier or receiver or expansion valve on one of these cars.they usually get changed by misdiagnosis and usually by a pro. |

I replaced my receiver/dryer about 7 years ago with a Chrysler unit for under 30 dollars. The factory unit had a low/high pressure switch. The Chrysler unit has a low pressure switch and a blow out plug. This was for a 328. |

The York to Sanden conversion bracket is readily available. I purchased mine at a local A/C shop. They are around $40 or so. You will have to fabricate or purchase spacers and probably longer bolts etc. I just finished the conversion and there are a few different driers that will work. The drier i used was a little larger than the stock drier and the Factory Air # is 33319. |

Terry,
I've been doing the same sort of work on my BB over the Winter...and too have been looking into the rotary conversion. I found a really nice, machined plate on a Pantera web site (can't remember the name??) for $70. Try a search on "Pantera AC"...
The dryer should be replaced, for sure. I did this many years ago...and matched mine to an inexpensive (<$30) MB unit, though I suspect my other types would do.
Please post that Sanden unit number...
Meanwhile, I'll try to find the Pantera site.
Regards,
David |

I am going to be starting the A/C system overhaul on my '77 GTB soon. The original compressor is in a box and has been off the car for 4 years. The A/C lines from the compressor appear to be in good shape, but were left open.
Thanks to Paul on Fchat, I have a part number for the rotary compressor I want to convert too.
Anyone know the make, model and part number for the dryer to use? I am assuming the dryer will need replacing because the lines have been left open. Is this correct thinking?
I also am having trouble locating the York to Sanden compressor converstion/mount kit. Paul mentioned this kit as what he used, but I have found nobody who has any knowledge of it or where to obtain such a mounting adaptor kit. Any ideas?
Thanks! |
