307 A/C compressor brackets

[69hurstolds]

#2 is the brace that bolts to the compressor front (via #16) and #3 is the adjustment bolt to loosen to help slide it along the groove when adjusting the compressor belt tightness. Bolts #7, #16 and #3 has to be loosened so you can adjust belt tension, then when tight enough, tighten #3, #16, then #7. Boom.

#3 is M10 x 1.5 x 25. 10.9 hardness.

Nice!! what is the part number for the hose?

Which hose? The compressor hose assembly?
85-up which I think yours is, takes a different number than the 83 hose.
You'll need FOUR SEASONS 55479 which is around 60 bucks from rockauto. Maybe different prices elsewhere.

GM # 25526129 if you can find one.

GM calls it a "fitting" … Really?

84 and earlier use hose assembly FOUR SEASONS 55071

Here's a chart with Delco and GM part numbers for different Cutlasses over the years. May help people searching for stuff.

I reused the condenser and evaporated. Any suggestion on what to fill this with, the old stuff is gone
