Free AC compresors (87-88 duke)
« on: April 17, 2010, 06:58:53 pm »
Well, last year I thought I had fixed the AC in my 88 duke when put a re-manned AC compressor in it. And it worked for a little while. But there was something wrong with the clutch -- it just wouldn't engage some times, even though it was getting electricity. So this year, I put a new (not re-manned) compressor in it. It's working fine. So now I have the old compressor, which is good, but the clutch is bad. I also have the original compressor, which is frozen, but the clutch is good. I looked in the Helms manual to see what was involved in replacing the clutch on a V5 AC compressor and it seemed like way too much hassle. So I'm offering both for free, if anyone wants to try to make a good one out of the two.

If no one takes them, hang onto them for the Little Duke Coupe.  I don't know if the compressor on it is good or not.  Since it has aftermarket air on it, the compressor might not even be the same.

1.    The ones that learn by reading.
2.    The few who learn by observation.
3.    The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.    Will Rogers

The stock 87-88 Duke compressor has two pressure switches on the compressor itself, and there is no pressure switch on the accumulator/dryer, like there is on V6 systems.

If Fierofool doesn't need them for the club's car, you can have them.
