1976 914 has the, "DPD" dealer installed AC. Still has what appears to be a nonfunctioning Mini Your compressor. Questions; Auto Atlanta has a ribbed belt compressor drive along with what appears to be a, Sanden like compressor. Any experience or information on that set up? Auto Atlanta also has, what appears to be a two condenser front trunk up grade kit. Any experience or information on that kit? I know the AC kits were marginal and should be not used, roll down the windows, take the top off. I get it. My plan is to make the AC reasonably function. Any other information or sources? I talked to Gilmore about a compressor mounting, also ICE, waiting for him to get back with me. ICE is knowledgeable about 914 AC systems. Thanks in advance, Steve V.

Some of this was addressed in a 2023 post:
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...amp;hl=Ed+Mooha See my comments about Gilmore Enterprises and Ed Mooha, founder of Gilmore Enterprises and previous owner. Ed was a friend of mine and really knew his sh*t when it came to air cooled VW Porsche AC systems. New owner told me he had zero interest in building 914 systems. Damn shame, since Ed had pretty much the entire 914 system mocked up before he moved. |
