I have a 1969 427 with the original A6 A/C compressor. It finally blew a seal and I hade it replaced with an aftermarket compressor. I am still using r12 in the system. I have the original A6 compressor. My question is should I have the original one rebuilt and reinstall or buy a new A6. . I would like to keep the car original. Any suggestions ?
I'd suggest that you just rebuild the original unit (if it is not damaged internally). You know that it was working properly; you can't be sure of that anymore with a "new" one...
The unit appears to be in good shape. No outside damage. I believe there is a rebuild kit with seals and o rings? I still have r12 to go back in the system.
