Is this an OEM A/C Compressor Label?

[Christopher K.]

I was wondering if anyone can comment on this a/c label. It's on my original compressor which has a date code of E 25 2 and part # 6556406 cast in the rear housing. The car is a '72 Lt-1.

Most of the repro labels have the same model # - 1131002, but the derivative that is upside down is 002, not 741 like mine. Also, I have noticed my code (or date code) is either worn off or not filled in.

Thanks for the help

While this is not a good picture were I to judge it I would rate it Not TFP.

Can't tell from picture but there needs to be a mo., day, year , & shift number typed in that top foil box with a different size and font from the font in the other two boxes.

Does anyone rebuild the compressors and keep them original one that you send them? anyone have a NCRS type restorations for our compressors?

I had my compressor rebuilt by the fellows over in Fort Worth--Old Air Products . I had them leave the outside of the compressor alone. When I got the compressor back, I masked the label off and repainted the exterior of the compressor. I am sure most rebuilders will leave the outside of the compressor alone if you ask them.

I had my compressor rebuilt by Classic Auto Air. Then I sent it to Domenic Tallarita he's a member of the Forum. And Domenic rebuilt the compressor to a higher level. And explained the rebuild process along with photos. I suggest you contact him.
The original sticker was left in place.

Thanks to everyone for the replies. My concern was whether to save the label during a rebuild. The "741" upside down in the green area of the label is what I would expect to see on 70-early 71 sb compressors. I was curious if anyone had seen this on their '72 label used in conjuction with the 1131002 code.

Again, thanks for all the contributions. And, I agree, Dom is a great source of knowledge for air conditioning. He's been extremely helpful and has taken the time to provide detailed answers to any question I had - Thanks!

Do you remember about what it cost for a rebuild on your compressor?

Re: Is this an OEM A/C Compressor Label?

From the photo and your comment on the CODE NO, I do not think the foil label is an original FRIGIDAIRE production label. One reason being that I would not expect the CODE NO to have worn off as I would have expected it to be "typed in" as mentioned; so even if the ink had worn off, the impressions of the manufacturing date code format stamping would be evident in the CODE NO space.

I agree with Peter. the code number is the date. Reproduction labels are blank in this section.
My original label on my 74 is damaged, but has a valid date for association to the build date of the car. It is hard to read, but is there and readable.

By the way what is Terry trying to say with TFP, sorry I am not up to speed with all the TLA (three letter acronyms).

Okay guys, sorry to "revive" this thread but I never really got a clear idea of what the correct a/c label looks like....

I came across Doc's label which looks like mine,

and here's Zip's which looks like all the other repros,

The upside down number in the green area is different.

Can someone with an ORIGINAL '72 a/c label tell me which one is correct, the one with 741 or 002?

Thanks again,

Re: Is this an OEM A/C Compressor Label?

Chris. My 74 does not have that mumber becuase that corner of the lable is missing. I did see a 67 lst weekend that has yet a different number but it was a repro label with no date code. sorry I can not help with the meaning of that number. Try a private message to Terry McManmon.

Re: Is this an OEM A/C Compressor Label?

The large upside down numbers in the green are the last 3 digits of the part number used as a "pick ticket" on the line. This number should match the full part number further up on the label as seen in the Zip label. As far as the date code characters being gone, I have a "741" compressor with the original label that only the shift number (last digit) can be read. The others are gone. The casting date code on the back appears to be 3163 (March 16, 1973).
