What is the name of the of the block like this I need on the back of a 2000 explorer compressor. Looks like DocsBlocks shut down.

Also trying to get the name of the fitting on the stock Explorer condensor to get a common fitting there to.

The last one looks like the one BCB shipped with my VA stuff. It did the job. Hose routing is fun, fun fun.
So you ordered a kit from them that had everything but the compressor?

I have the inside unit and want to use the stock Explorer compressor, so prolly need to buy their kit minus those 2 items.

Yup. I ordered their kit in summer, 2020. Told them that I was using an OEM Explorer compressor. They sent me that fitting plus hoses that were supposed to work with it. Which they might've, but I changed a few things and wound up making my own under-hood hoses. I did use that fitting though.

As someone else on this forum wrote a few years back, the installation is not for the faint of heart.

As far as custom lines go, there are a few options. One of which is to find a shop in your neighborhood that can make them. None around my neighborhood, so I bought stainless braided hose and field installable fittings from Summit and made my own, kinda like power steering and fuel supply hoses. Straightforward.

I had decided this was the one I needed. Maybe they have the same specs.

Yes manifold line would be what ford called it...that block tou posted looks like it could work ,,your compressor is either a fs10 or fs15;;most likly fs10....if you have a local tube and hose source where they make up lines that would be your best bet..they would crimp up the line on one end with a hose alittle long so you can fit it for lenght and clocking orientation ..generly there materials and crimps are superior to what you get in a factory hose assembly..
