1966 San Jose build 289 compressor manufacturer

(1/2) > >>

socalgt:
Would a '66 San Jose built(April) car  with factory a/c have received a York or Tecumseh a/c compressor on the assembly line?

J_Speegle:
The heavy one!!   :)

rockhouse66:
My car is much earlier - Sept./Oct. '65 build - and has the compressor shown below.  Can you tell which manufacturer just by looking?

ChrisV289:
Tecumseh should be cast iron while the York is aluminum.  That looks like the Tecumseh model

J_Speegle:
Believe that for the early years the Tecumseh was what was installed on the line while the aluminum York was often included the "kit" and as a serivce part. Lighter (cheaper shipping) and would not surface rust sitting on the shelf plus it matches the original cars documented
