Re: 53 Packard Patrician factory AC
"Crank pulley OD 6.75", OE idle speed is 450 rpm but I can bump it up to what the compressor would need." Please remember that if you have the idle set too high on a stick shift that you will have a lot of trouble shifting it...you will get a lot of grinding. Try it ahead of time befo...

Be careful of the rearward valves. Cooling back there was sub optimal and you had to stay on top of adjusting ...

"This forum is highly outdated."
In one man's opinion. If it is so outdated, why bother coming here?

Re: 53 Packard Patrician factory AC
Per Bohica, "Engine speed range and drive sizes matter. If you don't have enough compressor volume the system will be awful." Your original engine is a long-stroke low revving engine, typical of the day. All the torque is down low and red line is probably 3K at best. Any more than that and...
