Need help identifying air compressor motor (information from plate provided)

I have a sears compressor, with what appears to be an aftermarket pump and motor. I'm trying to figure out what HP my motor is. Here is everything I can interpret from the motor plate:

DOERR
Emerson Electric St Lous, MO USA

Defeinite Purpose
Compressor Motor LR22132

MTR REF R612184AC102B HP SPCL RPM 3450
Hz 60 FR L 143T KVA CODE F TYPE T
INS CLASS BR MAX AMB 40deg C DES PH 1
VOLTS 230 DUTY CONT SF 1.0
AMPS 21.0 EFF PFF
SFA

Thermally Protected Manual BRG SE BRG OSE

CUST PN
MC301527
I tried doing a few searches through Emmerson's eCatalog, but didn't have any luck.

BTW, what size breaker should I use if the motor pulls 21A?

Ever hear of Google? Just type the model number in and you get a bunch of returns.

Yes, I'm quite familiar with Google. In fact, I visited that very same auction (for a very different air compressor motor than I posted) and many of the other matches for LR22132 before making this post. BTW, LR22132 is not the model #.

I would put it somewhere between 4 and 5 TRUE hp. The formula is current x voltage/746, but these motors are usually only 80% efficient, so 21x220/746x0.8 = 4.9. Use a 30 amp breaker and since the SF is 1.0, try not to overload the motor.
