Bad Smell

[mitymerc]

I am not finding a clutch that looks like mine at any of the usual suspects.
Found myself wondering if the spare HO had a comp, sure enough, it does.
It is on an elbow level shelf, therefore the comp is above shoulder height.
And against the wall.
And behind the drill press.
Oh, and there is about a foot and a half between the Blue car and the bench.
Got the clutch plate off (contortion city) my back is very unhappy....

Inevitably the plate is different. The HO has a key, the “
'91 car is splined.

The car is a ’91, I have looked up '91,'92, '88 and '86.

I snuck my camera behind the comp & found that the PN indicated '89


I am calling Standard Motor Products tomorrow to see what’s up.

did you check the tensioner and the smog pump (if installed) already? Usually if the ac bearing is going to be a problem, a spin test will tell you. That bearing does nothing when the AC is actually on, it only spins when off. If the compressor itself is seized, then it'll smoke the belt when the AC is on and changing the bearing will not help.
