York Air

[ProudPapa]

Ok dudes need help. I'm greatful for Kevin giving me a york, but not sure what to do from hear. I have a stocker 302 with v-belt front, I will be mounting it above the alt. on the pass side. I need a list of all parts and how to set everything up for on-board air. Have'nt decided on using a bumper for storage or purchasing a tank. Everything in between I have no clue or the order it should be placed. Any help? Thanks!

Re: York Air

Get ideas from Kirby but buy everything from McMaster. Everything is way cheaper. I also think a tank is better trying to use your bumper unless it was built for that reason

Re: York Air

I have an air tank if you have room for it. I would also recommend running a small wet tank with a drain cock between the compressor and the main air tank. That allows you to drain condensation so you don't fill up your tank with water over time. As far as a pressure switch to turn your compressor clutch on/off I used a Viair switch from 4 Wheel Parts that was way cheaper than the one Kilby sells. They have them in different pressure ratings but I wouldn't go over 150 psi. If you need any help planning out your system or setting it up, let me know.

Re: York Air

I built a bracket over the top of the alt. stock v belt. mine plumbed into the right rocker then to the left side. then to manifold with arb valves, pressure switch and pop off valve. I still have templates for bracket.

Re: York Air

Gremlin I'd like to see pics. I've got everything sitting on the floor of the garage and couldn't noodle through the belt routing. Where is your idler? I'm running 351 but that really shouldn't matter. Multiple pics please.

I agree Kilby is way too expensive but you can't beat their how to diagrams.

Re: York Air

I had a York on a Heep. It worked great. There was a switch on the dash that sent power to an ARB pressure switch that was plumbed into the air outlet from the York. It was super simple.

Start engine. Turn on AC switch. When pressure reached 100psi the ARB pressure switch cut power to the AC clutch.

I just clamped a quick chuck air fitting on the end of the outlet hose past the pressure switch. Beyond there... Plumb in a tank, manifold, gauge or whatever you want. I plan to do the same again if I can figure out how to mount York on my 5.0.

Re: York Air

I had mine mounted above the power steering pump but couldn't get enough belt contact to P/S pump and couldn't figure out an idler setup.

The Econoline van P/S bracket works well for that. I just used a flat plate and mounted my York at an angle where the Ford A/C Compressor used to be. I have plenty of serpentine belt contact and nothing squeals and it all lines up great!
