If you are looking to convert your old AC compressor into a working air compressor, this is the video for it, with some helpful tips included. However, probably don't break yours like we did at the end. Like always, thanks for watching! And always remember to like and comment, as we enjoy talking with you guys. And if your new, subscribe if you like what you see!
This channel is inspired by some of my favorite youtubers: Hardcore Fab, Vice Grip Garage, Fab Rats, Matts Offroad Recovery, Piece and Grease, Rat Rod Bob Builds, Uncle Tony's Garage, Bad Chad, Make It Kustom, and WelderUp. The channels have given me a ton of cool knowledge about all sorts of fabrication info on things such as: Welding, engine building, custom chassis fabrication, custom air suspension design, custom interior design, on board air systems, chopping tops and other custom body work, custom seat designing, rat rod building, and some video editing and production.

Yep! A new nut fixed it. Thanks for watching!
This is good info. Theoretically this could be used as a vacuum pump too I think? I saw this and immediately thought of my air bags that I want to do on my car, Thanks.

Mmm, I don't see why that wouldn't work! If you had a vacuum tank hooked up to the suction side with a check valve in line I'm sure it would. They do make great compressors though. The 709 sandens pump a little more air than this 508 will. We just went with the 508 because the mounting was similar to the Ford ac compressor that was on the engine already.
I think a lightweight motor oil would be better than the Lucas. I haven't done it but I don't see how it wouldn't splash like crazy at 1/3 to 1/2 full.

The thought was a thicker oil won't seep through the piston seals as easily but its definitely an experiment!

@@manfordman9112 As far as the blow by is concerned I would think the thinner oil would get wiped away easier. The thinnest diesel oil with the most zinc would be my choice or maybe the pag oil that is for the compressor. Anyway, cool video. Thanks for sharing it.
