I got a PM about my engine driven compressor, so I figured I would share.

So check this out, my compressor is out of an older volvo, I want to say an 86 but I will get the specifics from my buddy as he is the one who set me up with it. When I purchased my truck it already had the EDC but I ended up throwing a rod in it and had to replace it.

This is what mine looks like...... and its dual piston... Wooohooo

I picked it up at the wrecking yard for $50. you will have to do a few things depending on your setup. If your running a v-belt no worries the one I have come standard with a v-belt setup; however, I have a serpentine belt so I had to get it modded by a machinist, also run a longer belt.

Mounting is takes a little fab work making your own brackets, mostly out of flat bar bent to perfection.

This compressor I am running is 9.1 cfm @ 3k rpm. It kicks the shit out of the viair 380 in my car as it is .9 cfm constant when the engine is running.

Here is tons of information on EDCs http://www.jedi.com/obiwan/jeep/york_id.html Look around... The website will describe a mod the will keep the oil from going into your air system as well as how to get the pully off without effing up the clutch system.

I will post some close ups of my setup tomorrow.

I had one of those for my 71 Jimmy that
I sold. Never got it mounted but like you
said they have very good output on them.

man i need to hurry up and do this to mine. it sucks sitting there for like 10 mins to fill up.... ugggghhh

Here is mine in my truck...

Sweet !!!

damn im jealous.... i want one...

same one on mine just a tip go to the bone yard look for a v6 s-10 like 96-97 take the p/s fill tube out and the gromet for it you can cut the tube down shorter and dont have to fight to get to the p/s fill to check it or add fluid just a tip to help they are bad ass and quiet

How are you setting up the oiling so the compressor doesn't croak?

Richard

Unless most A/C compressors that circulate the oil these actually have a reservoir for the oil. You do have to keep an eye on the oil and sometimes add a little but it is easy. There is a fill hole on either side.

I have a York 209 Big Block kit in my truck now. But pulley or pulley bearings are going out I believe cause its starting to squeak. Can order new pulley for it, but I have a brand new York 210 in my garage I think I am going to upgrade to.

have any of you guys thought about finding a way to run a york compressors off a 12 volt motor?

you could buy a winch and rob the 12v motor.(harbor freight has them cheap) take the clutch off the york. weld up a "box" out of steel to mount the york on one side. the 12 volt motor on the other. the only hard thing is trying to find a way to couple both shafts together..maybe get a 2 inch round steel bar and drill out the ends to fit both shafts...??? or a mini universal joint????

i know a company called oasis compressors already has this setup you can buy off the shelf. (cheapest used i found was 600 bucks)

i think i may do my york this way instead of mounting it to my engine.

The only downside to the York IS that if the engine isn't running, you are S.O.L. Wife just had the fuel pump die on our new to us dually, and the 480s that were under the bed are so worn out, it took a couple hours with jumpers cables on to air it up to tow it to town. Sucks, cause I was in Houston, 1000 miles from home when it happened. Then the York took a crap a couple days later.

We use the York 209 or 210s on most trucks and then have a 12v comp somewhere on the truck just for emergencies. I think you can get the York comps at the part stores for around $200 and they pulleys are another $50 or so.

Picked up a rebuilt at Oh Reallys for 145.

which one 209 or 210?
And part number?
