Rebuild of Behr/York air conditioning compressor

[quickstep]

My next project car (73 911 E Targa) is equipped with a factory Air conditioner.
I am looking for addresses to rebuild the Behr/York compressor. (there is a tag on the compressor stating "York")

The refrigerant used in the 70's have to be replaced with the newer 134F as well, but I presume that can be done when the restoration of the car is about to be finished.

Any other parts of the air con that have to be checked and rebuild?

Thanks for your advice.

The York was a common domestic compressor, should be plenty of rebuilders, 134 will require different hoses. Generally cars with York compressors updated to smaller Sanden rotarys. At least you have the good Behr compressor mount.

The York tends to vibrate and bogs the car down quite a bit.
I don't know where you live, but running 134 without additional condenser capacity, in addition to the York, will give poor cooling capacity.
The Sanden is smooth efficient and more compact too.

If you insist on using a York piston type compressor go to a 6 cubic inch rather than a 10 like Behr used. Less load, less vibration, and is exact same outer dimensions as original. The 10" compressors are fine for a '67 Ford F100 with a grill the size of Rhode Island. (Once again proves that the Germans back in the day didn't always use good sense when building stuff.)

Also take David's advice and stay with R12. Harder to get but not impossible. Works much more efficiently than R134a given your limited condenser area.

Since I am based in Germany (Europe) R12 were forbidden since 1990. In Germany it is strictly forbidden to use it, I see not other solution then converting to the newer R134 :-(

You need to move.
