Topic: york compressor ?

[89 toy]

i got a york ac compressor it came off a 72 ford pickup not sure if it was factory but here is my question. what do i need to do to make this work for onboard air? do i need to do anything to the internals or can i just make some brackets and hook it up?

I assume you're talking about the square one and not the rotary sytle.  It's pretty easy.  Hook it up and go.  You may need some funky fittings and what not, but they're around.  Check http://www.kilbyenterprises.com/ for the connections to the compressor.  They have everything you need and I've had great service from them, but, they are pricy.  Easier and cheaper to get the common fitting from a hardware store.  In terms of modifications, if you mount it straight up and down you should be ok.  If it leaks oil you can plug some of the internals, but you may not need to.  Some seem to leak while others don't.  Make sure and check the oil.  It'll burn up pretty quick if it's empty. 

Good luck.

good info looks like i have the f209 so it should work good for me i have 2 5 gallon air tanks to hook to it. the fittings i have on it i will be able to slide a air hose on it and clamp and clamp it down. thanks

you'll need to run a high pressure lines to it . air hose gets to hot and pops when u need it most .
