1982 a/c compressor
I need the correct Delco model number for the a/c compressor in a 1982 CE. The one in my car today is a 1131198 (toast). As I look for a reman I want to make sure I get the correct one for the car.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I bought a N.O.S. R4 on e bay for about $125 last year for my 82 CE. There were a lot of cars that used that compressor. I drained the old oil and refilled with R134 compatible oil before the install. While it was apart I replaced the a/c pressure switch, drier, accumulator, lineset, and ALL O rings. Also VERY important, flush the rest of the system and add oil for any of the replaced components.
A/C works flawlessly now. My total out of pocket was about $300.00

If your compressor threw 'craps', you will want to flush the refrigerant lines out completely to get any debris out of them. Then they will have to be purged of any [and all] fluid and vacuum ALL air out of them before refilling with refrigerant. You really should have a professional A/C mechanic do this work, if you want it to be right and last.
