Just bought a 47 Plymouth with a 1970 340 engine. The car has a Vintage Air unit under the dash, and it looks like all I really need is a compressor. I'll have to go with a chrome one since the whole motor is done up in chrome. Summit has a few to choose from, but how do I know which one to choose?

Sanden makes hundreds of compressors, all with slight variations such as:

- Port location (horizontal or vertical)
- Port thread size
- wiring connector type
- Pulley size
- Dimensions (a,b,c,d,e) shown on their website.

Vintage Air supplies a 6668 model with their kit.

4664, 8104, 4639, 4644 & 4647 are all direct replacements for the 6668.

I used a Vintage Air bracket and a #4471 so the fitting would come straight out the back (horizontal) versus the vertical ports on the 6668 for my 340 install.

My 360 had single groove pulleys so I used the Bouchillon bracket.

It uses the short compressor which they have polished.
