Re: 1962 Chrysler A/C Compressor Rebuild

Yes, good thought. A Factory Service Manual from years when these AC
units were available has detailed instructions on rebuilding. 

 Also there is a Hemmings historical overview.

 I recall seeing a posting where a guy with a A-body described how he
rebuilt his car's RV2 AC compressor, with photos.
 Let me see....

 Yes, scroll down to his Dec 23, 2018 posting

 Unfortunately the 2 links he has listed for gaskets and seals from 
 Classic Industries now lead to a "parts discontinued" notice. But
those numbers may be superseded. 

A good mechanic should be able to rebuild the one you have. Sometimes you can contact a Mopar club in your area and ask them for suggested shops. There is a "Mopar Clubs" list on the 62-65 site, but some of the links are dated.

Hope this helps.
