OK - I'm a little late on replies...
AC pump - stock. Hope it works...
My hoops are different, they are tilted back and in some for looks :flipoff2:
Yes, stock YJ steering U-joint. Actually it's from an XJ but they are probably the same

if it doesn't work, I'll graft the York on that I have in the garageQuote:

I'd research the gm style to see if anyone else has done it. if not, go with the york. oil leaks out of the york on compression also, but it doesn't need an oiler on the intake.
He had that on the old Silver Bullet Yota....might have even made its way to the Patrol. Just an inline oiler on the intake side and a drain on the tank from what I remember.Quote:

Hmm gonna have to ask my A/C instructor on this one. Ill see what i can come up with.
I have been using a stock Toyota pump for like 4 years now on the Patrol. Had it on my other tuck before this one. I just have an inline oiler on the intake and a filer on the discharge side. This isn't rocket science guys... :flipoff2:
I am still trying to figure out how you think you're going to get a GM motor to work in a Jeep. I mean isn't the wiring completely different? :confused2
well, it must not be too bad of a setup. i've heard that gm pancake compressor has 6 pistons. sounds like it'll work good.Quote:

It's only .120 wall - but it's DOM. She'll have to keep it off the rocks I guess
i used .120 wall also, but hrew. haven't hit mine yet. i designed it to protect my driveshaft. its bent already but thats from making it a y shape instead of a v like yours. too many burnouts and launches :DQuote:
