A/C Condenser Are They Still Avail NEW

Hello,

I'm new to this great forum but not new to RX-7s.

I have been looking everywhere on the net for new A/C condenser for an 82.

I find them for an 83 but they still don't look correct.

Question:

I find them for an 83 but they don't look correct. I thought 81 thru 83 were the same ?

My 82 has the hose attaching to the condenser vertically not horizontal like all the condensers I'm seeing on the net.

Anyone know of any good sources that sell exact replacements ?

Thanks

Thanks very much. So far the only supplier (that has a web site) I have been able to find seems to be Summit Racing. They don't have this part #, but I'll keep looking.

If you know of a good source for Ready-Aire, please post this as well.

Thanks very much.

Thanks for all the leads on this. It would be nice to match a part # up to a picture.

It also seems like there is a diff beween an 82 and an 83 condenser. (going by price)
Over the years I have had 2 83s and I don't recall them being different than the 82 I have, but that was several years ago, I could be wrong.

Thanks again.

The 83 where an odd year and there are quite a few differences between them and the 82.
