Howard - Jim Hollingsworth showed me his '40 One-Sixty Club Sedan with AC. He was operating the Saden compressor's clutch with a 12-volt battery back in the trunk. He said it would provide power for weeks' worth of usage. Not convenient, but workable. I guess you could use an 8-volt batter, but it would probably be more expensive than a 12-volt. Maybe a small motorcycle battery could serve as a power source? I know all of this has been discussed many times before.

David Flack may have a phone number for the guy from Salado who has Jim's '41 AC Clipper.

Edit: Not an engineer (far from it), but looks like a nice engineering solution, lots of thought and knowledge went into it. Thanks for sharing.
