AC Compressor
gordyzx9r:
So, last night...I went to use the AC for the first time since last year.
Turn it on and all of a sudden I hear something screeching and smoke pouring out of the hood.
Shut the car off, grab the fire extinguisher, pop the hood...nothing .
Hmm...so I turn off everything, start the car and all is good. Turn on AC and there it is again.
It almost looked like it was arcing out of the compressor.
Time for a new one.
I'm told I can get a compressor and dryer at any auto parts store but that I should also get an orifice for a 95 Ford F150 V8.
TexasT:
Sounds like the stuff I read. Charlief1(rip) has some pretty good posts on a/c how to. Rockauto.com might get you the stuff you need too. Careful on the dryer as some places have the wrong number in their data base.
ACDelco 15-1681 for the dryer according to a post in the a/c section
Steve Wood:
Most likely the compressor has seized up...will take a new compressor and clutch plus having the system flushed out to get rid of the debris...then a recharge

Yeah, that what's I figured. Would like to do it this week. Didn't realize there was an AC section here. Hoping I have the right parts in mind:
My system was converted to 134 years ago.
Just want to make sure I'm buying the right stuff. I'm trying to get it done this week, so it's either Amazon 2 day delivery or try to buy them locally.

What is the correct part number for the AC Compressor Cutoff Switch? The one that's on the compressor itself. Trying to find it on Amazon.
What is the correct part number for the blue Ford orifice? Again, trying to find it on Amazon.

Gord,
When I replaced all my A/C components I made sure they were all AC Delco and got em all from Highway Stars.
Here's a link to the A/C compressor cut off switch. I just bought and installed the standard AC Delco orifice tube offered by Highway Stars after flushing. Refilled with R-12. Blows nice N cold.
