[hardluck]

Made my own bracket for the york 210 on my '95. Still keepin the a/c too...

[slammedchevy01]

Anyone have to make spacers so there belt aligned better on the pulley for the compressor? I had to replace my compressor bracket since from the vibration it snapped! I have the Airlift kit and recently unhooked it well like a year ago actually. After I replaced the brackets it started snapping belts, never snapped a belt before that in 2-3 years! Think I need to place some spacers on it...??

can I use the electric clutch from my a/c on my 350

and how do I operate one edc with a tank for the front, a tank for the rear? do I have to tie the tanks together?

[hardluck]

Tie the tanks together and it should work just fine. As far as the clutch goes, you have to use the clutch that mates to the compressor. I used one from a Kenworth, since they run York 210's.

ok cool,I cant just go to advanced auto and tell them what I need, because I did one time and the guy looked at me like a dumbass and was like " go online and you can get a whole air ride kit for like 1800" so whatever I know you guys will be more helpfull. Thanks

Now that is a lot of brass air fittings http://www.liangdianup.com/subpages/airfitting_1.htm there is just about every type
of air fitting that you could want. Wholesale prices too. I guess these could be used as small water pipe fitting also. I
used some of the parts to make my babington wvo burner.

Do yorks need to spin in a specific direction? will they work regardless of if the crank pulley spins clockwise or counter clockwise?

a couple things not covered about Yorks.

First I was an A/C tech from 1980 thru 1999 and did alot of Yorks back in the day. I also did Yorks on big trucks, like Freightliner, Peterbilt etc.

one thing is that if you run the York as your primary source of air for your bags understand that the cylinders in the York need a small amount of oil or they will scorch, heat up the cylinder and then it starts to leak. It also scorches the reed plates in the head and they lose there tensile strength.

If you do the oil mod your cylinders no longer get any oil and you need to an an air tool oiler to the inlet side of the system. get a good adjustable one and turn it all the way down. then get a seperator on the outlet side. It will catch the very small amount of oil coming out plus it catches anything else that leaks by the pistons.

next is the clutch, most aftermerket or new clutches come with small washers. these go between the bearing and the clutch to space it properly. theres about 5 washers in the clutch kit. some are thin and some are thicker. look at the instructions to get the proper spacing for the clutch. too much space and it slips under heavy load and eventually burns up the clutch and sometimes the heat melts the wiring in the magnet.


also using a quality synthetic non detergent motor oil will make the York last longer.
