More: all done now - except for putting an actual switch in and adding a tank and pressure guage.
Works durned good for a disposable compressor that i didn't need to do any fabbing etc for - 33x11.2 (285/75/16) tire from 10 psi to 28 psi in 1 min 15 seconds? I'll take it - even tho it's the 36x15.5's that I have to fill LOL. Still better than looking for a close gas station on Sunday evening ;0) Also held an air nozzle to a paper towel and kept it wide open for a good 5 minutes - no oil/grease residue on the paper towel at all
Two thumbs up - man it's cold out tonight ;0)

Hey Rob you have any part numbers for the hot hose and the other parts you used. I put one in the cruiser but now I need all the other parts.

Nope - went to P&R Western star around the corner from me here to figure out fittings and hose etc. I don't think the fittings are an exact match for the ones on the compressor but they seal up just fine. Still not using a tank and it doesn't seem to mind at all. Did find a goochy little pressure switch at a lowrider shop on the mainland - it's nice and small just like the ones at the kilby site - won't have to use the big bulky switch when I build the oba on the rubicon.

Thank for those links rob just about to do my Ford version on my 5.0L. Did you open up your compressor and plug the holes?

Yup, the hardest part is getting the compressor out of the engine bay - works like a charm and no residue coming through the lines at this point. Tested by holding paper towel over the nozzle for about 5 minutes and no discolouration at all - impressive for a cheap fix :0)

cool thanks - all the engine parts are now at the engine shop and I should have the V8 back in the garage next week. I look forward to something other than that gutless 4 banger!!!!!!!! My ARB compressor also crapped out a couple weeks ago so the OBA will be nice to have before Moab.
