Updating with a rotary vane A/C compressor, or with an old York style piston type?

rotary, sanden 508. this car never had ac so all that is brand new stuff.  My ac guy was at work yesterday and said that system should 'freeze my balls off' ~16000 btu unit.   :toot: we'll see.  :burnout:

its been done a 'while' but had some tuning and fuel starvation issues to attend to. also a temp gauge that was constantly reading too high (defective) had me chasing my tail a bit. But shes solid. been driving it on and off for 2 mos but confident now.

very happy with it. It could def use a gear, maybe a 3.25 or 3.40 as the stock 3.00 is great for highway but otherwise its meh.  still need to get new trailing arms for back, just to upgrade . but shes solid, and the ac is good to go.  :devil:










plan on new dash , and set recovering, and some cosmetic work. but for a 65k mileage car that's over 50 yrs old... not too bad overall.

It sticks to the road around the curves, too ... except when you don't want it to.  :metal:
