Re: Attack of the giant woodpeckers...compressor swap with '87?

["Fred Munro" <munrof@isys.ca>]

Kurt;

    The '89 probably uses a NipponDenso compressor. The '87 probably uses a
Delco compressor. You would have to change over the compressor mounts and
the suction and high pressure lines as well. A rebuilt or new Delco is half
the price of a Denso (here in Canada anyway) and cannot be converted to
R-134a. The Denso compressor is lighter than the Delco and can be converted
to work with R-134a.
