Wondering what compressor I have.
I'm assuming it is the OEM but not sure.
It has a large "17" and a "34-1" marking on the US PS side but I'm not seeing anything else at first glance.
Does that mean that it is a 10PA17C Denso which is what I see hinted at by Rock Auto for my '97?
Also, does somebody know if the suction line (the one going from the firewall to the compressor with the plastic insulation where it parallels the exhaust manifold - geez could they not have found a cooler spot?) is fully rigid the whole way or is there some flex hose under the insulation? (cuz am wondering if I can remove the comp from the engine with the refrigerant lines still attached)
(FWIW, if it's a 10PA I believe there are a couple of good Youtube videos showing disassembly and reseal for those.)
TIA
