[UNBREAKABLE]

I'm lookin' for a york 210. Anyone got one or know where one is.

Check the junk yards around you. They are in so many different makes of vehicles that they are pretty easy to find. I usually hear of people paying $35 from some of the more commercial yards. I pay $5 a piece @ my local yard and any given time I've been there, he has had a minimum of 5 10s let alone the 8s and 9s that are there also. Look for a Volvo, they are almost all 10s IIRC

HEY GUYS!!!

Glad to see this post.

Last time I was at the wrecking yard, I came accross a york compress that was a twin piston in a V shape, a V2 if you will.
Then I came back to the shop and reported my discovery to Marlin who told me a great experience he has from his best wheeling friend, who tragically passed away while driving home from a run, but here's the story:

Marlin's best bud Bruce Z. had a twin piston York compressor and only a 2 gallon air tank. Marlin said he was airing up his 35s and the compressor would actually turn off!! It would cycle on and off even while airing up 35s - wow!

So back to this topic, I don't know which model the 210 is, I tried searching as much as possible and I could not find any info on this twin piston york. So does anyone know what vehicle and approx. what years this twin piston york was on so I can search http://www.car-part.com for one? I do remember that it was near the older AMC cars, like the eagles, so it was in the big boat car area where all the caddies are..

I heard it's a bit large, but I really want to use it. Marlin's got the standard upright york and its great, but you have to keep the throttle at a bit over 2000 rpm and it'll settle to around 80psi while airing up tires, so it takes longer.

Thanks!

Your V2 sounds alot like some a/c compressors found on some late 60s to mid 70s Chrylser/Dodge full size cars.  Large, and heavy, they were usually mounted centered between the heads above the water pump.  Mounts looked complicated, along with belt adjustment.

I know where the car is in the yard, I just need to go back over there...

...but I just want to see some more info on this York but can't find anything.

From Marlin's experience, I've gotta get one!!

I wonder if the yards 'round here have one...I'm sure they do.
