Frigidaire axial style model A-6 compressor rebuild

[George H.]

I'm' looking to have my original 1973 LS4 AC Frigidaire compressor and clutch rebuilt. Part number 5910797 date code 020733. Its almost 50 years old and has never been serviced. System has all original hoses and clamps. I did replace the evaporator condenser coil back in 2015. I believe the compressor shaft seal is leaking since the car doesn't get run very much. AC System has had R-12 refills three times in past few years. Safety relay switch I'm sure shuts it down do to low Freon.

Looking for a recommendation; name, address, phone number, as to a good repair center with history of doing A-6 repair work. Preferably in Florida since I live in Ocala.

George:

There is only ONE place to send your compressor for rebuild, and that is to Dom Tallarita. He is the best in the USA at this time. He is also a NCRS member. Unfortunately for you he lives in California. But FedEx and UPS make the distance easier to accept. His phone number is (760) 831-2095.

Dom is a friend of mine, but there is no-one that can compete with him for the A6 rebuild. You will not be sorry. He does the A6 for most NCRS cars as well as for a few others.

I can give you 25 references if you needed them, but take my word for it, you will not be unhappy with his work or with dealing with him.

He may not do this work much longer, so call him and get him your compressor soon.

Here is a thread from a few days ago, with Dom participating. https://www.forums.ncrs.org/showthre...-C-duct-repair

Agreed, Dom is the best, bar none.

Hands down Dom is the best. Dom has rebuilt 6 for me, I have two more I need to send him as soon as I can. If you send your compressor to him make sure you package it really well especially on the end where the clutch is, and put enough insurance on it.

I appreciate the good information and recommendation from all members and will be contacting Dom for timing, cost and his ship to address. Trying best to keep my 73 all original as best I can. I purchased it back in 1979 in Gainesville Florida from the original owner. It's never been painted. Yellow Metallic 953 still looks extremely good. I think it looks more like GOLD. Its been a garage car rat its entire life, going on 50! Still has the original A.I.R. smog pump, EGR valve, and Rochester Q-Jet carburetor. Has 71,500 miles on it. Jasper in Indiana did a rebuild on the matching numbers 454 engine according to GM factory specifications. With its Muncie M21 4-speed and AX 3.36 gears, runs very strong and yes, burns a lot of premium gas.

I like to double box the compressor, with special emphasis on the clutch end as Gary states.

I have used both UPS and FedEx. for shipments. Insured of course.

George,
Another vote for the only guy I would send my A/C A6 compressor to...Domenic. Dom's a true artist, technician and one hell of a nice guy. His work, in our community, is legendary.

Fabulous workmanship done on the '66 compressor I had rebuilt/restored by Dom. When it comes to AC compressors, no one else gets my business except Dom! Can't say enough good! Mike
