I am looking for a replacement AC compressor for a 68 327 small block, which was originally supplied with a Frigidaire Model 5910645. I can find a new compressor with no problem. The issue is I need to choose from a clutch/pulley size of either 5 inch or 5 3/4 inch. Since the car had no compressor when I bought it, I can't look at the old one... Anybody know which size is correct for that year?

Re: 68 ac compressor clutch/pulley size?
Geno -- I'm no '68 expert, but all my Corvette and Delco parts books show the 5_3/4" diameter Gr 9.180 #5914745, Delco # 15-216.
This was used as the standard Corvette compressor pulley from '64 thru '68, with the exception of the 'big *****' [censorship check
] 6_3/8" dia. used with high horse '64-5's.

Hey -- big brother lives -- the asterisk'ed word above was originally typed (for those in military mode) mambo-uniform-tango-h-alpha. [don't know moniker for 'h'].

The '69-71 Corvettes used 6550750, Delco 15-224 (don't know the diameter, but probably smaller). -

There are actually several phonetic alphabets, but:
mike
uniform (some use umbrella)
tango
hotel
alpha
I hate these things and military time too, but they make me do it.TerryComment
