Default 67 A/C compressor

Can anyone recommend a supplier for a rebuild kit or parts for my 67 A/C compressor, out crusing today , all of a sudden smoke in the cabin , stopped and opened the bonnet , had smoke coming from behind the the clutch assembly, was not sure what to do, I figured something is seizing up , so turned the A/C on it stoped smoking and drove it home. I know zero about these compressors , Will find a good mechanic for this one.
thanks

Since the smoke stopped after you engaged the A/C...I would check the air gap on your clutch. Sounds like you lost the gap and the plates heated up from friction.

If that's the problem, you can pull the hub out to re-set the gap at 1 mm.
Jeff's sticky on how to replace the shaft seal will make this clear.
