Re: Keep Your Cool! Vintage Air Sure Fit Install in a 67 C-10
This is where I screwed up. The directions say to install the compressor so that the oil fill plug is within +/- 90 degrees from 12 O'Clock so it will be properly lubed. I rotated the compressor 90 degrees clockwise so that it would be almost at 12 O'Clock when the A/C belt was installed. This was a bad idea, , follow directions! I later found out that when I went to install my A/C hoses the hose from the Compressor to the unit in the cab is TOO SHORT if installed as shown in the pics below!!!
The A/C compressor mounts using tabs "C" and "G" (C being the front mounting tab).
SO, you want to mount the A/C compressor using the last bracket as shown with the bracket behind the front set of tabs leaving the "open hole" where Tab C is.
For the other two bolts, use two 3/8x1 1/4" bolts with lock nuts (the plastic center) to bolt the bracket to the compressor.
*Ignore the actual positioning in the pictures, it's WRONG. Rotate everything in the pic (except the compressor) 90 degrees counterclockwise, and it will be correct, the following pics are for reference only*
