I was able to get a NOS HR980 compressor from MikeC! The comradery on this site is a tribute to all of Paul's work! Thank everyone for all their help!

Hi everyone! I have been busy for a while, but am back to work on the SVO! I really need a good HR980 A/C compressor, if anyone has one. If not, what does everyone use to swap it out? Thanks!

You can also go the route I went, which was a 200R4 automatic, which can be built to handle 750 HP. My Transmission swap build is on this site

Hi everyone! My Tecumseh HP980 A/C compressor clutch on my 1986 SVO is squawking, and I am having problems finding a clutch kit for it. Has anyone found a crossover clutch kit that will fit, or is wil...

Awesome, Landy! More time to cruise in the Model A sedan!

Happy belated Birthday, Landy!

Are you using any type of blow-off/bypass valve?

I liked the Ranger Roller I installed in my SVO. IMO, the HLAs are fine, but your springs are over 30 years old, and have probably lost some of their strength. I installed Comp Cams 990 springs and...

Not saying it IS, but if you have a FMIC, it could be aluminum slag from inside the pipe/ tank welding that finally broke free.
