OK.. 87 Jeep Cherokee...

using the stock A?C compressor to do the "pumping" for air...

it's not a "york" it's a long one with 5 bolts on the back... stock for the 87 cherokee...

Anyone know what size the threads are on the pump...

I want to get my stuff ordered from OBA but dont know what size i need...

One is bigger than the other one...

Thanks!

My fittings were 1/2. I bought the rotolok fittings from kilby and then just used some pipe fittings from northern tool.

You can (and should) use the factory hi-temp hosing that comes out of it, for at least several inches to a foot, then you can splice a barbed fitting in at the end of that, and have whatever threads you want.

Jeepin_NC, doesn't that metal piping get REALLY hot??? :eek:

Never touched it; all i know is it works :flipoff2: I wanted to use steel piping so I didnt have any rubber hose meltdown. Coulda used copper, but that was more money...My whole piping and filter assembly cost about $50 at northern.
