Quick ac question... Difference between compressors

[1993MTXSHO]

Hey all, does anyone know what the difference is between the 10p15f and fs10 compressors? Are they interchangeable? I'm looking at four seasons rebuilds and both say pag 46 but they look very different. First thought was one was for r12 but that went out the window when it says filled with pag 46.

May have answered my question. One is sho one is slo. Weird because they list 93 as using a slo compressor and then 94 to 95 as sho.

How many compressors did the sho use? My understanding was 89 to 95 was the same but I want to be sure so I don't run into any issues.

Rockauto shows the same four seasons compressor (57365) for 89-95.

Hmmm. For a 93 3.0 dohc vs a 95 3.0 dohc? Not from what I saw.

Well I can't really attest to what you've seen.

If you look right now... What do you see? Lol

Rockauto's part listed for a 90 SHO when cross-referenced pulls up applicability for 89-95.

I checked another site and it shows that same part for 89-94. Oddly enough it shows up for 95 as the 3.2l part. http://www.carid.com/four-seasons/remanufactured-a-c-compressor-mpn-57365.html

Yeah something isn't right. That's why I'm trying to figure out which is the right one and if in fact all 89 to 95 used the same one.

Some good info but I'm still a bit confused haha. Also do our cars have an expansion valve? I didn't think they did, I thought ours used an orifice tube instead of an expansion valve. But I'm a noob when it comes to Ac. It still also seems like there is more than one compressor for our cars and that one is better than the other.

orifice tube is Ford-speak for an expansion valve.

Ford lists separate part numbers for the 3.0 SHO v. 3.2 SHO, but I have used them interchangeably without issue. The slo part does not work.

I'm worried more so with 89-93 vs 94 to 95 than I would be atx to mtx. I'm wondering if the compressor changed when they switched to r134a. But I suppose I'm curious if the atx and mtx had different units too.

 

[rubydist]

the compressor did not change from 93-94, it is the same.

As far as I know all V6 SHO'S use the 10P15F compressor. The difference would be the oil used in the system. R12 vs R134.

Ok then all I need is a way to make the aftermarket Ac line fit with headers. Probably not going to happen.

It is the same compressor form 89 to 95 ATX and MTX: http://www.shosource.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=61_74&products_id=357

Awesome thanks Matt. You guys don't have any nos liquid lines for a 93 mtx do you?

 

[LOUDSHO92]

What we offer is here: http://www.shosource.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=61_74

Anything beyond that would be used.

 

[1993MTXSHO]

What does everyone do with the liquid line then? Cut it and replace the orifice tube and reuse it? I've read that ends up leaking.

 

[rubydist]

why do you want to replace the orifice?
