Progress Thread 1984 2.3L Turbo AC Compressor

[WAR2D2]

So, it turns out that the compressor on my 1984 Mustang GT 2.3 Turbo does not work and needs to be replaced. After spending hours looking for a new one, there is one listed on E-Bay for an SVO. I emailed them to see if it would be a guaranteed fit on my GT, as the seller, "Klarna," accepts NO returns. The response was, "Try to compare your part to the pictures we show on E-Bay, there are two different types of compressors..." So, they will not guarantee fitment and at a price of $650.00, I really don't want to take a chance of having another lesson to look at on my garage shelf every time I go out there . Do any of you know of any other sources to get a new or reman compressor for this car?

Engine Thread 'Foxbody Mustang A/C Compressor Reseal - Nippon-Denso 6P148A'

Dec 1, 2020

I plan on rebuilding a factory NipponDenso 6P148A Compressor. This thread will show details of that progress. It will be completed in stages, so I recommend clicking the watch button at the top right to get future updates as this won't be done all at once.

Initial thread will be a bit all over the place as I perform various tasks in rebuilding the compressor. Just bear with me.

My compressor seems ok at first glance. The Clutch bearing is failing, so that will also be replaced. I will detail out the clutch replacement, part numbers, and the AC compressor rebuild with part numbers...
