Looking for a new ac compressor

[Kevin]

My ac compressor locked up on me last week or so. I was going to wait till next year to replace it but the lack of defrost capability is really putting a damper on my driving. Where's the best place to get a new or rebuilt unit without payong an arm and a leg?

[Kevin]

no one else has ever had to replace the ac compressor?

Kevin, the eBay compressor is from Y-me here on the forum. You might be able to deal on "that one" I believe he mentioned the A/C was cold when he bought the car. Don't know for sure but he's generally been a quite reliable person to deal with. Ask if his was a 12 or 134 conversion!

Have yours "re-sealed"? What do you feel is wrong with yours?

after talking with a friend of mine, I don't think it's locked, I think the clutch is shot and wont spin when engaged. the car squeals when the ac or defrost is turned on

If it's out of gas you could take out the orifice to see if there are metal shavings on it. If so........ compressor self destructed.

Y-ME (Dan) is good to deal with. That compressor is most likely out of the 1990 #444 that I bought the body to. Also bought the LT5 short block.

PM him. He would rather sell it outside Ebay, I'm sure.
