The best thing would be to get Slee's manifold. Pipe the compressor to the manifold, run the solenoids, pressure switch and air line hokk up fitting from the manifold. It will make for a clean set up.

These pics show the manifold with the solenoids and pressure switch, then the compressor mounted behind the brake booster. The coiled copper line connects the compressor to the manifold. If you look at my manifold it has a 1/8 NPT plug where you could plug in your air fitting.

thanks for that now i have to rethink where to mount the comp..it seems like every well thought out project turns into another purchace ..

My setup is prettier than Andrews' but pretty much the same thing.

So how are you mounting the manifold through the fire wall with tex screws or what ?? Also will this little air comp really blow my tires up ???

I used nutserts to bolt it to the firewall-easy. This compressor is not reccomended for general use like blowing up tires. I use mine for lockers only. It would be very slow for tires anyway.

I used these nutserts on my firewall as well as my snorkle pretty easy to install.
