hello all,
i tried to search but iam pretty bad at that...
my question is who has right now for sale a york air compressor bracket for a 88 chevy tbi 350. i have all the rest of the system installed but need the brackets.
thanks again i love mud
 
Howdy! May be real hard to find. By 88 Chevy has changed from the old style compressor to the newer rotary format. A York will not directly fit up on either bracket set. Most A/C shops used factory parts for brackets and used aftermarket compressors that were nearly identical to the OEM units, when doing a retro fit. When I added a York to my 77 350, I used the factory bracket base, which is the part that bolts right onto the exhaust manifold. I fabbed up everything else. IIRC, I used a piece of 4" x 1/4 for the base and mated that up to the York holes. Then I welded two pieces of pipe onto the bottom of that to run the pivot bolt thru. I used 3/4" angle for the belt tensioner arm. One hole in the bottom end for a water pump bolt, and the about a dozen holes in the top, filed out to make a long slider hole for adjustment. Works good, and the only problem is that if I engage the pump at over 2500 rpm, I get some belt slap/noise due to the long section of unsupported belt on one side. It's not a big problem, so I have never gone back and added an idler pulley for support. John
 
cool, i also fabbed up one for my fj80, but was hoping i could just buy a bracket as time is running short
. just did not want to do all the fab work right now is all. thanks for the heads up on my search
cheers
 
Maybe Kilby has one. I tried to give you a link but it seems their site is down. I know they're still around because my brother in law just bought some stuff from them. Anyway its onboardair.com

They have been very good to work with and have qaulity stuff as well, even though their jeep guys :)
 
good to hear, i am looking forward to doing business with them soon. cheers guys, oh by the way is there any cruiser heads that are making the brackets at home or anything??
