The York 210 is the best york as it moves the most air (10 cu in per revolution) the York 209 is next best and so on.
Ideally you should mount the York Vertical as it has its own crank case with oil in it. It will reduce oil blow by.
I believe its suppose to have about 12 to 14 oz, I use straight 30 weight oil.
You can add oil through the bolt in the center on either side of the York. I recommend taking some stiff wire and fashioning a dip stick to check it from time to time.
It is recommended that you run at least 18" of steel braded hose after the York as it can get pretty warm under load. After that a check valve to keep the air from backing out and a coalescent filter would be good as it will keep the water and oil from accumulating in the bottom of your air tank.
I've ran my York at 225psi for at least 3 years now 12 gallon tank, no problemo. I also wired up an indicator light that comes on when the belt clutch engages

I kept mine full, and also put some air tool oil down the intake regularly.

Thats what leaving as much a possible of the high pressure side takes place of. It's very heavy high temp line.

I didn't have a check valve, but never had a problem with it bleeding off. I put a petcock in the bottom of my tank so I could drain it.

I was running some weaker hydraulic line (rated 1000psi) and it burst at the crimp one time on me. Where the metal fitting ended, I think the heat transferred down the fitting to the hose. No big deal, just an added upgrade to go to a short piece of steel braided line to help dissipate heat. I also might be generating more heat because of the higher pressures.
Also 14oz is plenty of oil for the York.
A check valve is a good thing and as another upgrade to use the "DOT push-on" fittings. I prefer the Parker brand, there the best hands down.
A coalescent filter is also a real good idea, it will keep stuff out of your tank and most importantly your tools
I mention the pressure and volume just to show people who are thinking about this mod, that the York is a really tough air pump and will take some abuse.
One day I hope to 4 link my truck and bag it on all corners, maybe...
Oh yeah, I'm only running somewhere between 110-125 psi, didn't have the $$ to use fittings/lines/tanks for higher pressures at the time. I want to bag my bronco some day too, but that's going to have to wait. A long time.

is that a K&N? How much extra horsepower do you think it gives your compressor?
I'm thinking it's at least good for 15 hp at the wheel But really, it was just the cheapest filter I could find that actually had some decent surface area. I looked at pcv breather filters, but they're just so small.
And on the mounting it vertically........ Ford put mine horizontally so thats how it stayed. Worked for them for 30 years, so I'm gonna roll with it.
Mounting it Horizontally is acceptable, but vertical is "Ideal". Either way works.
Ford put an Air Conditioner in your truck, which pumped AC stuff, not Air.
Mounting it vertical will keep the oil in the crank case "better", keeping the oil from following the air out of the York.

Easy! Dyno that Motha'!

You don't need all of that. One toggle switch and one pressure switch will work just fine. Put the power to the toggle from the ignition, to the the pressure switch, to the a/c clutch.
