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.

There are all kinds of stuff made like these, but need the names of ford stuff.

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..
