Hello everyone I'm new to the group and just got my first GTO. The A\C compressor and condensor are missing I called for a new compressor and there 2 pulley sizes 5" and a 5 3/4" which should I get or does it matter? My other question is this I need the condensor they have can not get that part though any help either used or where to obtain new would be great. I have read alot of the post and everyone here is great it is nice to be able to interact with people who love pontiac as much as I do.
Thanks, Hardwarp Dallas Texas |

Hardwarp,
You may want to find an older dealership. They may be able to help you out. I'm in Virginia and a local dealership here found a condencer in Texas for my 67' go figure. this was just a few years ago. Good luck.

you will be very lucky if your parts guy can get both AC compressor pulley sizes. Usually today only the one size is available either new or rebuilt. For the condenser, buy it new from PY or Year One. No point to mess with NOS and none avaliable from GM anyway.

Correct me someone if I'm wrong, but I'm nearly 100% certain that ALL Pontiac A6 compressors used the smaller diameter clutch pulley - 5".
I'm fairly certain that Hi-Perf Chevies were the only ones who used the larger pulley, to slow the compressor down at high engine RPM's (read warranty issues).

Hardwarp,
Don't count out the dealers. I may have stepped in it with this deal, but my NOS unit cost me a $100.00 and it has been keeping the ol' 67 cooool  Good luck.

Try www.ackits.com - they can source mucho parts, run a giant tech forum, and know more about auto AC than the guy who invented it.
"...ridge reamer and ring compressor? Do they have tools like that?"

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
