So our 89 Ranger bit the dust, head cracked. To make it easy to get the head off, I took the A/C compressor off since the A/C never worked in that truck.
I went to spin the pulley thinking it was probably seized. It wasn't. It spins very nicely.
So I started thinking about what it could be used for. At first I thought of using it for its original intended use of course.
But then I started wondering if I could possibly set it up to gain power somehow, sort of like a rudimentary supercharger or whatever
So can it be done or would the power the compressor would steal outstrip the power it would add. Would changing pulleys work?
