C2 AC Compressor clutch diameter

[Randy S.]

What is the correct clutch size for a 1966 A6 AC compressor. I am in the market for a new compressor and I see conflicting catalog info, 5 " or 5 1/2" diameter.

I find no data in my service or overhaul manuals.

Randy,
I have a 66 w/AC and the OD of the AC clutch pulley is 5.400.
My compressor is numbered and dated correctly.
I hope this helps.

Frank, Are the date and ID# located on the rear plate of your A-6? If so can I get a photo as I am cataloging A/C systems on Mid Year cars. Thanks, al w.

Al,
I will send the pic tomorrow. I just tried to take it and the light is bad.
Do you need any other info?

Randy.........I have a 66 w/factoy A/C....in the process of rebuilding the A/C system, new condenser,compressor,rec/dryer,hoses,muffler,compressor brackets(wrong ones on when I bought-long story)& belts.
Can you tell me where exactly the horns are mounted on your 66?.Mine where in the wrong place when I bought this money pit.I know that the right hand one should be mounted on a "horn mounting plate" which I believe is riveted to the left under the rubber grommet where the parking light wires exit.My problem seems to be the left hand horn mounting.The condenser is approx. 2" deep making the mounting of the left horn impossible to mount in the original spot & there seems to be no change of bracket out there.....Ideas?....Pic's would be helpful....thanks in advance.....B
