Spectra Premium A/C Condenser P/N:7-9080
Help your A/C system shed heat the way it was designed to with the SPECTRA PREMIUM ac condenser, part number 7-4163. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1983-1991 Chevrolet G10, G20 and G30 and the 1983-1991 GMC G1500, G2500 and G3500.
The condenser is the A/C system's heat exchanger. Hot, high-pressure refrigerant vapor from the compressor flows through its tubes. The fins pass that heat to the air moving through the core, and the refrigerant condenses into a liquid before continuing through the system.
Signs a condenser may need replacing: The vents may blow warm or weakly cooled air, or cooling may fade at idle or in slow traffic. You may also see oily refrigerant residue on the core or fittings, or bent, clogged or corroded fins. Other A/C faults can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the system before you replace parts. Installing a condenser opens the refrigerant circuit. Have the system recovered, evacuated and recharged as the vehicle service information directs.

What vehicles does the Spectra Premium 7-4163 fit?
It fits the 1983-1991 Chevrolet G10, G20 and G30 and the 1983-1991 GMC G1500, G2500 and G3500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for full application details.
What does an A/C condenser do?
It takes heat out of the hot, high-pressure refrigerant coming from the compressor so the refrigerant condenses into a liquid. The A/C system needs that step to deliver cool air at the vents.
How can I tell if my A/C condenser is failing?
Warm or weak vent air, cooling that drops off at idle, oily residue on the core, or damaged fins can be signs of a condenser problem. Other A/C faults cause similar symptoms, so diagnose first.
Is the 7-4163 tested for leaks?
Spectra Premium builds its A/C condensers with an emphasis on specialty testing aimed at leak-free performance and reduced movement and vibration.
Do I need to recharge the A/C after installing this condenser?
Yes. Replacing the condenser opens the refrigerant circuit, so the system should be recovered, evacuated and recharged per the vehicle service information, ideally by a qualified A/C technician.
