Ford F834 Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Keep your creep in check? Why would anyone want to do that? But, you have a good point. So, make a list of part numbers and maybe people can help you find them? So I went digging in the master parts catalogue to find what I could find on the 300/4.9L AC bracketry. So for the 80/81's with the York compressor there are four components: D7TZ-2882-A Compressor mount D7TZ-19D625-A adjusting bracket D7TZ-2888-C Front brace D7TZ-2889-A Rear brace I happen to have mine installed without the front and rear brace, but I did find the rear brace in the junkyard so I have 3 out of the 4 components but the compressor is no good... For the 1982 set up there appears to be six components. I could only locate 4 part numbers in the catalogue. The rear compressor bracket (19D897) and rear brace (19D895) in the drawing do not appear to be anywhere in the parts lists. D7TZ-2882-A Compressor mount E2TZ-2889-F Mounting bracket support E2TZ-2888-D Front compressor mounting bracket ??? Rear compressor mounting bracket E2TZ-19D625 Front brace ??? Rear brace The main mounting bracket is the same as 80/81 which I have, and I found the aluminum mounting bracket support piece at the junkyard... but I don't have enough to make this work especially since I cannot find a part number for the rear mounting bracket. The 83-86 set up has four pieces, but just three part numbers as the front and rear compressor mounting brackets are the same: E3TZ-19N586-A Compressor mount E2TZ-19D625-A Front brace E3TZ-19D896-A compressor mounting bracket (front & rear) I may have a lead on a set of 83-86 brackets through a Facebook contact. The price is reasonable, he is going to check with the owner to see if all the pieces are there. Hopefully I will be lucky... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the 83-86 brackets work out, but note that in the 82 illustration it says 2888 or 19D896? But it isn't that easy on 2889, the rear one, as there isn't an entry I can find for '82: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The brace you highlighted in yellow (D7TZ-2888-C) is the front brace for the York compressor. The catalog lists it as 80/82 E F U 100-350. Only thing is the pickups and Broncos stopped using the York in 1981 while the Econolines continued to use them through 1982. So that front brace really does not apply to the 1982 specific pickup set up. The rear compressor mounting bracket and the long skinny brace that looks like it may mount at the ignition coil stud are the ones I cannot find in the catalogue.

The 1973-79 catalog shows: 77/ Fl00/350 - - 6 cyl. 300 and integral A/C "From Ser. Y40,001" D7TZ 2888-C But, for 1982, I'm confused as well.

This was pulled for me today, and I am trading a radio bezel, grille emblem, and F350 fender badges for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford F834 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Those are the '83-'86 brackets? Yes, that is a complete 83-86 set plus the rear power steering bracket just in case. I don't think my power steering pump mounts to the timing gear cover, but I have seen the front bracket in the junkyards here I need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think my power steering pump mounts to the timing gear cover, but I have seen the front bracket in the junkyards here I need one. The 83+ AC brackets should be mailed out to me on Monday. I have an excellent used compressor with hoses. I discovered that my AC dryer canister is different on the '81, as the hose from the compressor routes across the front of the engine instead of up against the fire wall. The fitting is angled forward and on a much shorter stem. So I needed that part. I decided to get the evaporator core with it, as I am not convinced that I ever got all of the mouse residue out of mine. These came from the same truck as the compressor and are in excellent condition. So what about my condensor? It was disconnected for years. The hoses were still there but open (compressor removed). Should I be concerned about it? Replace it? Any way that I can test everything for leaks before filling with 134A? Should I add a can of the PAG oil? Any other tips for success with this? Edit: just for the record, my power steering brackets are just as shown above, I was just remembering it wrong. Everything should remain the same with the new AC mount.

I'm no A/C expert, but you really should pull a vacuum on the system before filling it with 134A. This checks to see if there are leaks, and it removes any moisture. If you can do or have that done then I'd go with that condenser. That way if it leaks you'll know, but if it doesn't you haven't spent extra money.
