<VV> A/C Compressor ...

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

Be careful here, the Corvair compressor is special in that the rear head is  
different. It has a reverse rotation oil pump. Spin the thing the wrong way, 
and  it'll pump refrigerant fine. For a while. 
The main difference between a Corvair A6 and an A6 for the rest of GM is  the 
rear head.

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
