Howard - I recommend you contact Terry Weiss in Tyler Texas (sweetmumsie@gmail.com) he has some good experience with early air conditioning systems on our Packards. He has Jim Hollingsworth's air conditioned 1941 Clipper. He is running a Saden compressor on the 6-volt system. I am sure he would be pleased to help you with your questions. Another Packard gentleman.

A thought just occurred to me. How hard would it be to rewind a compressor coil for 6 volt? It is not a moving part, if one knew what size wire to use and how many turns, or how much wire to use it would not be hard to wind by hand or with a simple home made crank.

Thanks everyone. Sent a note to Mr. Weiss and hope to hear something back on how he is doing his clutch and a couple of other things.
The coil rewinding is an idea that has been mentioned before & thought someone had looked into it 2-3 years ago. For some reason it never happened so don't know if there is more to it than just winding a coil. Maybe the current draw and heat was too high or probably was just not enough interest to make it worthwhile. I'd think one of the aftermarket companies would offer something if there was money to be made. Perhaps there is someone more familiar with the attempt or someone more up on electrical theory who could fill in the blanks. The photos are perfect and thanks for taking the time. They show what I was hoping to see. Nothing uses the space so if the belt turns out to need a bit extra, compressor can go over and up slightly. Was limited by the wide Packard drive pulley and finding a usable modern off the shelf belt turned out to be harder than I thought. Not out of the woods yet but a couple more look promising now that there is some option.
