FrankOC Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I’m sorry if this has been answered previously, I was not able to find an answer. Is the Eldorado compressor the same as the first gen compressor? I’ve looked at pics here and and other sites and they look identical. I do see there is a short tank version and understand that one is different along with a difference in mounting brackets. thanks Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Frank, I believe they are. I did some research when I found mine and the Cadillac compressor. The short tank compressor was used on Pontiacs. There is a listing on Ebay for 899.00 with the short tank and they claimed it was correct for our cars. Its not. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 If you search Eldorado compressor on Ebay you will find a few correct units. The lowest price is 399.00. The highest is a restored unit for 1689.00. Yikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankOC Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Thanks Paul, I did see those and they appear identical to the many pics I found here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtret Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 The Eldorado is different. On the bottom of the tank it is smooth around the curve of the tank. The Monte one looks like it has a cap on the bottom. This is a Monte one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankOC Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Thanks for the pic, Dennis. The couple compressors on EBay have that similar cap on the tank. There is also one that doesn’t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
