I can not believe that the only car that used the ac compressor in the DeLorean was the DeLorean. There most have been some other car to use it, Saab, Volvo, Lotus, etc. My compressor clutch starts to smoke after several seconds which leads me to think the compressor is dying. There are many compressors for sale on e-bay. One most fit a DeLorean. I know the xref is a Sanden (sankyo) SD-510 model 8494 but that does me no good in finding one at auction. Chuck vin 10610
