AC Compressor chrome shield
I went to put on a new under-hood insulation pad over the weekend...but saw oil slinging up from the compressor seal onto the old pad.
I know I've seen somewhere, chrome or brushed aluminum covers that go over the compressor pulley for this exact problem. But when I called Mid America, they didn't have it.
The car's a 76 and the compressor is the old, long style. Whole AC system was redone when I had the engine built for it a few years back, so the oil coming from the pump is very minor.
But I don't want to install a new insulation pad and have it get sprayed with oil. Who has a source and/or part number for this little item?
Thanks
