Yeah, I've thought about it. How hard is it to get the old one off, that's been my issue.. I don't want to wind up having to take half the car apart for something like this - I went thru that drill when I had a 64 T-bird... had to partially disassemble the INTERIOR to replace the windshield....Almost every repair procedure started with .... remove the front seats......

I'm thinking of getting one of these "retro-look" Vintage Air Mark IV under-dash systems.

If I do, I'll let you know how it turned out.

My Saratoga has a vintage Mark-IV system in it - it's an even older type of under-dash evaporator than the one you linked above.
I have to get my York compressor rebuilt, hopefully before we drive to Wenatchee, WA at the end of the month for the WPC Northwest Meet.
At some point I may switch to one of the more modern looking versions. This one looks like it belongs in a Ford or ??

It blew cold for 2 years after I bought the car, took us to Sacramento and back for the WPC National in 2009, then in 2010 to Ellensburg, WA to the
Northwest WPC Meet, and it blew the compressor seals there.

This 1960 Chrysler has one of the more modern Mark-IV units, or could even be a Chrysler Air-Temp under dash unit, but it's so much better looking than the one in mine!

Ian, the tork compressor should be readilly available (cheap), I gave up re sealing compressors lond ago (not worth it).

The other thing is, if you wanted to go to a sanden compressor, you should be able to get adaptor kits to go from york to sanden

See how you go

YeaButt you can aim air 4 different ways, maybe more, the other one can only aim it two different ways. The main reason I selected the one I did was because it had the three rectangular vents rather then the two.

So any ideas where I can find another York unit like this?

All I want is the under dash unit. My dad my CD player will need to be moved to another spot. I am looking to have it moved inside the glove box

Have you considered an MP3 player instead? Takes up less space, and no more fussing with CD's.

I'm sure you already know about them, but here's a blurb:

"MPEG-1, Layer 3 (MP3) is a standard for digital audio compression that has been defined by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). An MP3 file is an audio file that has been compressed using this standard. Strictly speaking, an MP3 player is an electronic device that is made especially for playing these files. In a general sense, however, any electronic device for playing digital audio files might be referred to as an MP3 player, regardless of the actual type of digital files that it plays.
Sizes and Memory

MP3 players come in many sizes and storage capacities, but they typically are portable devices that are small enough to fit easily in the user's hand. Most have enough memory to store hundreds or even thousands of digital audio files, which usually are songs. The files usually are placed in an MP3 player's memory by connecting it to a computer and transferring the files to the device. Some advanced models of MP3 players, however, might allow the user to download the files directly from the Internet.

The smallest MP3 players use a type of memory known as flash. Flash is very compact and uses very little power, allowing for extremely small designs with long battery life. The limitation of flash-based MP3 players is that they do not have a great deal of storage capacity. For larger storage needs, hard disk-based MP3 players were developed. These can have storage capacities of more than 10,000 songs, but they must be larger than flash-based players and generally are more expensive.
Features and Accessories

Many MP3 players have small screens that tell the user the name of the song and other information about it. The screen also might serve as a user interface, allowing the user to execute commands or choose various options. Some of these devices even have touchscreens, which allow their users to tap directly on the screens to make choices or execute commands instead of pressing buttons elsewhere on the devices. Most of these devices come with earphones, and some models have built-in speakers that allow users to listen to MP3s without having to wear earphones."

Sorry about that iffy link in my post above. Here's a good pic of the new Vintage Air reproduction Mark IV under-dash AC unit.

A pretty good copy of the "real thing" - believable that some one might install one of these 1960-ish units in a late 1950's car, back in the day?

Vintage Air products receive great reviews, so I'm thinking of skipping trying to get a genuine old AC unit to function reliably - call me a chicken!

Ian

I have to say that in the 30 odd years that I have been fixing a/c systems, I have not seen a york compressor with that cooking fin design on it.

The usual ones (cast iron or alloy) looked prety much identical to each other but these would really be late 60s and up.

It wasnt really that common on this side of the globe to see a car with a/c until around that time.

I guess it depends on how exact you want to keep the car, those york compressors were really big hp theives compared to later turbo rotory and scroll type compressors.

Because I have not physically seen your type of york before, I cant be sure if the later seal kits will fit (but I think it would be a fair bet)

Its normally the shaft seal that goes (if a rod has not let go, also very common).

Most rebuilds of a compressor really are just a re seal (bearings for a york as well if I remember right).

The seal kits should still be available and its no more complicated than screwing an engine together (easier really), just have to make sure there is no dust ect, clean it, then clean it and clean it again

Have fun
