<VV> A/C Compressor ...

[Secular]

  Thank you Mark ! My concern is that the seller originally told me that the A/C compressor was for an early 70's Cadillac. He mentioned "A6" - and claimed that it'll also fit the Corvair. 

  I want to put this unit on my brother's car (66 Corsa) which has been missing the compressor for a while. I personally prefer the newer Sanden (SD-5 ...I can have the bracket made), but he's bent on keeping things stock.

  Thanks again,


  Tony
