Update - The loaner MS was bad. LOL. This was one that I got in trade, then traded it away for powder coating. So, I gotta fix this thing that isnt even mine and gets me no closer to driving.
Same buddy has another bad one (which is why we made the trade) and we are going to send both off for repair and hope that we can get our buckets of bolts running again.
Car has a lovely layer of dust and bird sh!t on it from the stupid little birds that I cant keep from nesting in my shop. My annual wood sale is in a few weeks and that should provide funding to buy a new computer to get the car going. . . Finally!
In the mean time, I have been working on getting AC in the bronco. Apparently, all of the parts from a 98-02 Crown Victoria fit perfectly in an OBS, compressor is from a later model F-150. The only part I haven't figured out is the wiring. I found a thread from a while back that @Mustang5L5 replied to about diodes - Can I just splice a fox harness with the diode into my new harness and call it good to run the AC clutch?
Currently have all the major components installed, waiting on an adapter for the compressor before I can install the lines. This is relevant to the fox crowd also if youre doing a coyote OR I think it would be cool to do a low mount AC somehow and get the lines out of the way. I was planning on selling it but with diesel headed north of $7/gal it makes more sense to drive this thing since it runs on 87 and gets decent mileage.
Evap core installed - same size, just different fittings
Compressor is pretty much the same
Condenser Mounted in front of the core support. Its big.
