AC Compressor PN?s
pepperglenn:
Were the compressors the same between all the engines? 390 vs 289 vs 200? I know of the Tecumseh (iron) vs York (aluminum).
Does anyone have a list of compressor Pn?s per application? Tried looking in mycopy of the MPC but only saw AC kits listed

It was more a plant supplier thing for a given year and plant vs. a certain engine displacement. For example a Dearborn built 69 Mustang would most typically have a cast iron Tecumseh compressor regardless of if 351 or 428 . 68 Metuchen Mustangs most typically had the York regardless of engine.
67gta289:
+1 adding to what Bob stated, the compressor proper was adapted to different engines and vehicles by means of various brackets and clutch/pulley assemblies. The brackets are very specific, and in some cases changed during the model year - I'm thinking the 1967 289 applications in particular, to resolve a belt slap issue.
The basic part number is 19703. From 1960-1968 there were only 6 different compressors used, across the whole Ford car lineup. I did not check but would expect Mercury to use the same parts.

Great info, thank you! I suggested the compressors were mostly the same but with different brackets and pulleys and such... i know ive seen a two belt and a single belt pulley before.
Any idea what type of compressor was typical for a San Jose built 390 car in April of 67?
