68 Polara Ac compressor

I'd like to replace my compressor but I'm thinking of upgrading to a modern compressor. One that is made for 134a. Does anyone know of such a compressor?

This is a very informative YouTube video. It’ll have all the info you need to convert an old rv2 system.

Excellent! Thanks!!

There are also some threads in here on converting to the Sanden compressor, with pictures. Check the thread by "TxDon", as he did the compressor and related lines on his '66 Monaco wagon.

Any ideas on which Sandan compressor works best to keep our giant cars cool?

There are many Sandens in existence, but I believe it is the 508 that everybody sells for RV-2 upgrades. There is even a "back" where the lines come out horizontally rather than the "bug antennae" we normally see.

I just pulled the old compressor off. It would make a great boat anchor. Thanks! Gotta get something on it soon.
