Anyone know where I can get a a/c compressor for cheap. ?

 

I would try a junkyard or a parts wholesaler such as www.rockauto.com

Check craigslist too, lots of junkyards are posting stuff there.

I need to find myself one of these too. Mine has started making a scraping/howling kind of noise and I think its the bearing inside going bad.

 

I'm debating rebuilding it. I've got my certification andhave the know how but parts and tools are an issue. Mainly parts. What do you think
