It may well be a fair price, but they are crap!

Better off converting those cars to a Jap rotary, cheaper and FAR more
efficient.

Hmmm...well, thanks for cheering me up. I can see how they are probably
stone-age technology...its predecessor seized up and I never got around
to installing this one. Never occurred to me that a rotary would have
been an easy substitution. Learn somethin' new every day-!

Don't worry. Millions of these compressors have been and still are giving
excellent service. They were used in all General Motors vehicles and many
others for many, many years.

A quality leak detector in the hands of an experienced technician will
locate any significant leak. Soapy water or kid's bubble blowing solution
will locate some leaks. Refrigerant leaks are generally accompanied by oil
leaks. Some leaks occur only under operating pressure. Some compressor shaft
seals will leak only when the compressor is running and some leak when the
compressor is idle for a long period. All connections are potential leak
sources. Hoses will sometimes become permeable and refrigerant will leak
thru them.
