    on board air
    Post by stanman on Oct 9, 2006, 8:32pm

    Hi guys. I am planning an onboard air system in the future and I have an AC compressor, but im not sure what type it is. Would it be easy to convert this one to an air compressor? I pulled it off of a 318 poly.







    any ideas?

    Google that around a bit and you should find a page or two dealing with using those as OBA compressors. According to some, they will run air tools no problem. I plan on running one on my 318 in my 715 at some point in the future.

    Chrysler designed and built. Think of it as two Yorks put together in a V configuration. The advantages of running this pump are the obvious twin design, and the fact that it has it's own dedicated oil system with crank driven pump.

    I used the big York for my OBA with M35 air tanks under the bed. I love it. Matter of fact, it made my 500 mile drive last weekend able to be completed. Here is the parts place that has all the "standard" OBA parts.

    I am at home with my sick son right now. At work I have 5 or 6 more OBA sites saved to the favorites and they are mostly write ups and low dollar tech for OBA systems. Plumb it however you want, but 2 of us here on the Zone have learned from experience that at least 1 foot of metal tubing needs to be between the compressor and the flexible airlines in the system.

    Reply to this thread tonight or tomorrow and I will remember those other links.

    Two piston in a V configurations. When disassembled, it is very much like a small engine complete with crank, rods, heads, etc. Cool little machine that is typically overbuilt for early mopar stuff.
