A/C Question

Unless you're a stickler for authenticity, replacing the old, heavy, large, vibrating, and inefficient piston compressor for a rotary compressor is an excellent upgrade for your Dart. Those old compressors use a lot of power robbing energy to run and a Sanden type compressor will work more efficiently and rob less power from your engine. Conversion brackets are available from various sources but Classic Air in Tampa can furnish you with the parts you need for the conversion through their Old Car A/C division. Cost to have the drier rebuilt is $120. Again, if you're not a stickler for authenticity, remove the horizontal drier from your fender, replace it with a hose or hard line and place a modern drier vertically on the radiator support near the radiator and condenser.
