1973 C10 "The Purple Truck"

Basic build
I wondered if the Sanden style was better.

I'm pretty sure it's an orifice tube type.
 
Don't run those Chinese Sanden pumps to 6500 RPM. They do not like it. Ask me how I know.
I've got the small Sanden compressor on the Shop truck, it's survived multiple 7000+RPM excursions, although I would imagine discharge pressure would be crazy by that point and the clutch would disengage. No time to shut the A/C off when you want to mash the pedal, it shifts at 6500RPM at WOT.

My first pump was a Sanden. Somewhere in the system was a small piece of aluminum. Probably got in there during the engine swap. The pump did not like that.
