The rotary type started with the B230 in 1985.

Replace tt with t (twice!) and remove parentheses to email me directly.

You can't easily go from the York to the later style compressor. You'd need
all the old brackets, the split crank pully, the old style power steering
pump, the rotary compressors are easier to find in good shape anyway.
