On Board Air

Looking into this, especially since I just bought a 7.5 gal air tank off c'list. Probably impossible to find an original system that is A) working and B) complete, so I'm looking to convert an AC compressor to the task. I have a single cyl York that I believe is from a truck. Finding the brackets and pulleys should be interesting. Air horns can't be far off!

Changing an A/C system over to an on board air compressor would be nice to have.

An "air compressor" is just that and would work perfectly. You would just have to wire in a pressure regulator to cancel the compressor's clutch once the compressor built up the pressure you want.
