<VV> A/C Question

[Frank DuVal]

Slight correction.

The Delco A-6 is the same as the Frigidaire A-6. Frigidaire was a 
division of General Motors back in the 50s  60s. When they sold 
Frigidaire, the car A/C parts were just branded Delco.

edit, GM bought into Frigidaire in 1919! GM sold Frigidaire in 1979. Now 
they are owned buy the Electrolux people.

But, Harrison was also on some A/C compressors, so they must have 
branded the A6s with three different lables at different times. How 
confusing. See:  http://www.adclassix.com/ads2/60gmharrison1.htm   and   
http://www.capitolsupply.com/gsa.automotive-tools-accessories.a-c-temp-a-c-clutches-components.csi?pg=ilist&sid=
where the compressors have all three names....

As John (?) says, the Corvair A-6 is different than the other A-6s, as 
it turns backwards.

> Nearly identical. The difference, is a critical one. The rear head is special to the Corvair compressor. It incorporates a reverse rotation oil pump. This is a must, otherwise, a standard GM A6 won't last on a Corvair. However, remove the standard rear head, replace it with the Corvair rear head, and you're in business!
