Replaced mine with on from a 1985 chevy pick up. I got it from Advance for about $100. That was last year and all is still good. Note that I had to remove the clutch and turn the electrical connector to match old compressor.

Check the number on your compressor. This topic has surfaced before and the number is in the archives somewhere, I'm sure. I was advised by knowledgeable A/C technicians to get a new compressor as the rebuilt ones tended to leak. I took the advice, and mine was working fine 5 years later when my '81 300D was totaled.

I have read in previous posts GM compressors will work. Is there an part # I need? I am putting an order together for Rusty, is this an item he could supply or am I better off buying local? I plan on driving this beautiful machine for many years and want to make sure I am using good quality parts. Should I go with new or rebuilt. Thanks, Mike in Michigan, where the summer heat won't get you but the humidity is a killer. _______________________________________ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net _______________________________________ http://www.striplin.net For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://striplin.net/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_striplin.net
