6berry we have the space for it and it works great if installed right but you have to have compressors for back up the whole oil in and remove oil coming out and recycle the oil back in is the only issues i have but this think can pump LIKE CRAZY howco im gland to help someone Else's confidence lots of builders here on the hamb help me by sharing their pics like (click name to go to build pages ) kool kemp , zibo ,dave , 6berry dont forget to take lots of pics and make your own build page because next week you might inspire me
Thanks Joel I am taking photos like crazy, am having a hard time getting them to post, might be that I am running a Mac instead of a PC
thanks joel. im glad my build thread helped somebody out. ur build thread is actually what got me to start my build thread in the first place. ill look into the york compressor a little bit more and i might go for it if i find one for cheap.
HOWCO its easy to post you first have to pick a host to hold your photos (for example photobucket) then once you upload your photos to the site you copy the url link of each photo and paste in you message box example would look like this i change the to [image] so it wont show a photo [image]http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=12866&pictureid=131959[/image] by copy and paste i directly linked the photo to this page 6berry i got alot of info from the 4x4 guys they use it to run airtools when they are out on the trails [URL="http://coloradok5.com/york.shtml"]http://coloradok5.com/york.shtml[/URL]
i got the fire going again my son took the pics for me i had the orig trunk floor from the plymouth and it had the gas tank mounts attached so i popped them off and flattened one end pre-drilled 4 holes and zip screwed them into the trunk structure i made then welded them in i attached one gas tank strap as i lost the other one and its a nice fit my bad*** jesse james welder shirt my helper the mount
Good to see you back at it Joel! I wanna see some video of it moving under its own power before the end of the year
heres some pics of today fun i picked up a trailer hitch from a ford expedition cause it is 55" wide and touches the inside of the frame rails i am also going to hang the bumper brackets off the hitch im going to make shoes out of this very think angle iron i have wich is going to allow me to weld the hitch to the frame then i drill two holes into the bumper brackets and bolt them in place as a guide strip everything apart grind everything clean then re***emble and weld all together here are more mock up photos of me getting it into place and an action shot of me welding that my son took happy farthers day to everyone me and the wife decided to work on baby #2 i plan on allot of working on it
Glad to see the little helper shows some interest too, potential next generation car hobbyist. Thumbs up!
ok ready for more pics i first clamped everything into place i then drilled a 3/8" hole twice thru every bracket to guide me back to the same spot after i dis***embled and grind everything clean and re***embled for welding time you see zip screws in the holes to help me realign i had to stop for the day as my large c-clamps wont squeeze the frame to the bracket again the little handles bend to easy mock up this is how it looks without the bumper filler or bumper in place
Nice work you old plymouth pirate!I wish it was that easy on the stock frameAs usual a well thought out plan of attack.
You might be able to you this on a stock frame if i remember i will check tomorrow it came off an expedition
officially the fabrication on the rear frame is done i added some support brackets and once i lift the body off for the last time i will drill and install two grade 8 bolts as extra overkill so i slapped two bolts and the bumper together and swung the car around now its time to start the fab in the front i have to fix some minor floor structure in the inner fender well i have to weld up a bracket for my york a/c pump to fill my air bag tank mount the nose and make front bumper brackets get another freaking steering column cause i can't use the caddy one it wont let you change the wheel its telescopic i figured what gauges i wanted i can't wait to buy them 6berry check this out http://www.jcwhitney.com/6-gauge-pa...60 &zmam=15972153&zmas=21&zmac=61&zmap=685260 it fits our dash like a glove it will take up the space where the dash starter ****on is but who cares 13.5" long 3" tall 1" deep perfect nothings tight cause i have to dis***emble it all soon love the shape of my four door best that was ever made i was up at 7 a.m. cranking on the car i feel so good i love life when the days are like today heat didn't bother me one bit i was smiling the whole day my son took a pic
i like those gauges! i might look into those because i was thinking about circle gauges in that square hole look kinda weird.
yeah im going to sell my gauges and put it towards these i have to figure how much to ask for them now they are old ac gauges i was going to use
Just finished reading this and Joel's got me charged up to do a project. I really feel like I've learned some things in the last hour, and not just metalwork. Thanks Joel.
yeah i like the oldies too but they will not fit my dash without eliminating some of the chrome on the drivers side which will make me remove the chrome on the p*** i really want to keep the stock chrome i just ordered safest rust remover and will be testing it on a bunch of stuff http://www.safestrustremover.com/
got something done today i didn't think i could do,i know its way off topic for traditional guys but this **** is cool everyone could use this on a car i fabbed a bracket for my york a/c compressor and even made it adjustable even tho its mounted on the orig a/c bracket that moves i took a stock bracket and after staring at it for a while i cut it to hell and reconfigured it i still cannot believe i did it just to explain what the a/c compressor can do if you put a mini airfilter on the inlet and connect an air line to the outlet you can fill a 2.5 gallon airtank in 30-40 secs you can run a airline to the front and back of your car and run airtools of the system check youtube for proof im using it for my air suspension and airtools you never know when you need to use an impact gun on the highway building onboard air system ready for some pics stock bracket getting hacked another mock up fully adjustable i need a smaller belt straight shot
ok made a second bracket and had to put the car together and wash it i misssssssss the days when i would wash my car and go for a cruise i can't wait it really helped motivate me ready for a few pics
Nice idea with the compressor. Don't forget that you need to add some way of getting oil in the inlet line to lube the internals.
like i said before i know this is way off topic for a traditional rod but cool as hell thats figured out already York-style compressors (the big, boxy, vertical kind) used an internal oil reservoir for lubrication, which makes them ideal for use as stand-alone air compressors. Although the York has a separate oil reservoir, it still leaks some oil back into the discharge line. This is nice if you're running air tools, but you really don't want to be pumping all that oil into your air tank or your tires. There are two ways you can get around this problem without oil-starving your compressor. The first method is to put an inline oil separator on your discharge line, then plumb the separator's drain port back to your compressor's oil fill hole. This is probably the proper way to solve the problem, but it adds a lot of expense an a lot of extra plumbing to your OBA setup. a new way has been found by opening the compressor and tapping and screwing a screw in a small hole thats responsible for feed the oil into the line once plugged you would only have to refill oil every once in awhile due to how much you use it
i will copy and paste the info i have you really want it from a volvo as it has the high output compressor old fords have a low output and old Mercedes have a mix old bread trucks have a factory chevy mount which i would love to find also do a search on you tube for on board air you will also see a alternator converted into a welder If your compressor still has a metal York (not Motorcraft) ID tag bolted to the front of it, there will be a number on the tag that looks like "F2**Y", where: <table summary="Displacement" border="1" cellpadding="3"> <tbody><tr><th>**</th> <th align="left">Cylinder Displacement</th></tr> <tr><td> </td> <td>10 = 10.3 ci (169 cc)</td></tr> <tr><td> </td> <td>09 = 8.69 ci (142 cc)</td></tr> <tr><td> </td> <td>06 = 6.10 ci (100 cc)</td></tr> <tr><th>Y</th> <th align="left">Discharge Direction</th></tr> <tr><td> </td> <td>L = left</td></tr> <tr><td> </td> <td>R = right</td></tr> </tbody></table> Take off the clutch and look at the crankshaft. Remove the center bolt (1/2" socket). Remove the large washer. Run a 2" long, 5/8" co**** thread bolt in until it bottoms against the crankshaft and forces the clutch off. Look at the end of the crankshaft. The end is flat on all models. If the edge of the flat end is beveled, you've got the small displacement. If it's a sharp corner, but with a thin groove for a retaining clip, you've got the medium displacement. If it's a sharp corner without any groove, you've got the large displacement.
