York ??'s

it looks ok, but is missing one of the hose fittings. if it were me, i'd get it from a salvage yard where i can test it, and be sure that i get everything with it.
like 25 bucks at pick your part.
you can modify the bracket to your needs, and buy only the kilby pulley, and a good coalescing filter.

this is a good filter for you.
cheap, and auto drain.

I guess this Ford has regular flange fittings...not sure if they were originally with Rotolock fittings or what. It looks like you will need to buy new flange fittings anyway, as the intake port is missing the fitting. You can get them from Kilby at www.onboardair.com. Or you could scrounge around for a used one, but the Volvo's are metric threads, so you need to do some "creative" thread mating to make them work. The Kilby fittings are standard 1/2" NPT, so they fit right up to fittings you can buy at the hardware store. The other things you will need add up pretty quickly - pressure switch, relief valve, coalescing filter, check valve, a bunch of fittings, etc. I did some price comparisons on Kilby's stuff and they are within 5% of the lowest prices I found on the individual components. I found it easier to just buy the setup from them, but you can find some things on ebay. Search for Square D pressure switch and you usually can find the one you need (#12J52). Also, this compressor may have a bad clutch for all you know, so it might be a good idea to ask the seller to check it. The clutches run ~$100 new. I bought the whole compressor with fittings from Ecology auto parts for $35. Give them an extra $8 and you can take it back and pick out another one if it doesn't work...

Thanks for the article and the tip Erik!

I think I will be researching this one for a while. Did you happen to look at the link I posted. I am curious on that Specific York. The Model number shows its the Larger of the Yorks. I am trying to figure out if I should purchase this one.

here is a nice link for york info.
i have been running one for a while, and love it.
be sure to spend a few bucks on a good COALESCING filter for your york install. it will keep the oil problem minimized.
i recommend a filter with an auto drain. drain it right back from the filter to the york

So one of My buddys let me fill up my tires with his York, Let me tell you... FAST.

So naturally I am in the Hunt for a york and started to doing some research.

I found that I should go with a York that was pulled from a Volvo rather than a Ford. Reasons: The York of the Ford have tubes coming vertically off the top making it stand taller...

NOW....

I found This on Ebay, he is stating it came off a Ford. It doesnt look like it to me, But what do I know!!!!!

I was hoping I could get some input from you guys or gals.......

Ebay

Thanks
