I don't know what, or if anything, is wrong with the original compressor. It has been in a box that came with the car. I've never used it because the one on the car is a rebuilt one, and has been working for over ten years. The system has been converted to R-134, and the rebuilt compressor was installed then. I was going to buy another rebuilt compressor, and wanted to keep the original look. Can this compressor be tested without putting it into the system and having it charged? If not, I would be wasting money having it charged!
So that is how I came to look at compressors that may be listed as not fitting my car. Most dimensions are pretty straight forward, but this one variable dimension is listed as "mount distance to groove midpoint" in the A/C catalogs. That is why I ask if anyone knows where it is measured.
Thanks, Les
