Hehe, that'll tell if it moves air. The AC compressors compress to ~~ 200+ psi. I don't think a turn me by hand test will be accurate.
Quickest way to test a compressor
Without hooking it up to a running zuk
(which I don't have at this time

),
is there any way I can test a compressor to see if it is any good?
I have a chance to get a compressor from a 1.6L 16v tracker, and I was thinking of using it for an on board air setup. The guy is only asking for a few bucks, but doesn't know if it works.
I was thinking that if I hook it up to 12v and spin the pulley, I should feel tiny puffs of air. Would this work, or am I way off base on this one? Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question, but I didn't find anything in the search and I haven't worked with compressors before.
