Which of the Links pictured below is correct for the compressor on a '72 350 in an A-body? These appear to be the same but if you look closely one is a little shorter than the other. Thanks in advance for the assistance with this.

This one appears to be to short.


This one looks right to me.

 

Bottom picture appears to be correct.....

 

X2 bottom bracket

 

Bottom one - they look like mine that are still in the back bedroom awaiting installation...

 

That's what I thought. Now the million dollar question is, where can I buy a pair like the bottom picture?

 

Create a parts wanted ad, and make it clear which one you need. If someone can post the measurement that would be even better. I may have it, but don't know when I'll be able to look.

John, you have the big bracket - I left it in the Dell box full of power window and lock motors. I dropped it off Sunday morning (did not want to wake you) and forgot I did so until now! That was the one you shipped Carl years ago and he did not need it, so I brought it back to ya! It is bagged with bolts...

 

John:
Thanks for the offer. I'm not in a big rush (I'm picking up my frame from the powder coaters on Monday, so I'd say I'm a ways away from working on the AC) but I'm on the hunt for the right parts. If you find that you have a set, just shoot me a PM. Thanks!

So that is the correct one for 1972?

Is the shorter one different in 1972 as well?

Maybe I can help you out cdrod

John:
The bottom picture more closely resembles the diagram in the assembly manual, and Rob has a '72 and has confirmed that the bottom picture looks like replacement parts he has on hand. So I'm pretty confident that the bottom picture is what I need for my build.

 

Genuine 72 350 brackets right here.
They came off my car but never went back on yet.
John, I am pretty sure the ones I took back to you are the same.
Look-n-c...
Carl had a 72 with 455 so this may explain why he did not need 'em.
