York vs Dana Compressors

[the hamiltons]

I just finished putting a York compressor in our GMC and if it's of any
value here's the pump up timings to fill the pre-77 large air tank or Power
Level tank only. The bags were not inflated because it's sitting on blocks
and the ride height adjusters are disconnected.

Dana ( recently rebuilt incl newer-style, poppet-type valves ) 0-110
psi - 2 mins 10 secs - It's about 4 mins from 0 psi incl air bags if my
memory is working from last summer.

York - 0-110 psi - fast idle - 22 secs
idle - 40 secs

Al,
Do I assume correctly that you have used a York compressor orginally used as an
airconditioning compressor --- driven by an engine belt with the magnetic
clutch actuated by the pressure switch on your air tank??? Now here is a REAL
source of compressed air!!!

Al;

Was this an available package for install or did you do the figuring on it. If
you tease us with the great outcome you must provide all the dirty details.
