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, 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

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

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 one7224D054-A824-47C4-8158-ED183517C699.thumb.jpeg.a7f4ce4f3be36be2afd2d9ef68d5cabf.jpeg

Thanks for the pic, Dennis.  The couple compressors on EBay have that similar cap on the tank.   There is also one that doesn’t.
