Default 67 AC compressor

Need some help. The assembly manual for the 67 has model 5910645 as the correct part number.

I've seen compressors that have this on their green sticker that look original but yet have a different part number embossed on the back.

So my questions:

1) is model 5910645 correct for 67
2) should it be embossed on the back

Thanks!!

Ed

Ed:

That compressor p/n is correct for '67. The only place the compressor p/n appears is on the foil sticker.

The number on the rear plate (head) is the p/n of the rear head casting (6555302). It is date coded and must precede the date code on the foil.

I don't know why the compressor p/n changed for '67. Could be something as minor as the R12 charge weight. Maybe somebody has that answer for you.

Mike

So you didn't believe me when I told you that twice in your post last week in the sale/wanted section.

You were right! It wasn't about not believing, I just wanted to make sure before I spent money. I have jumped the gun over the past year on a couple of things that ended up being wrong. So making sure is my new motto.

So I need a 302 with date code prior to nov 66.

I appreciate your help!!
