I know this topic has been covered, but I was unable to find anything now. I want to add an air in line on my H8H649 so that I can plug shop air in to air the systems without having to fire her up.

I looked at the compressor and was wondering whether I should tap in to the air line there?

What have others done?

Thanks,

Jack

Jack -

To elaborate a little on what Doug said, you'll have to look around somewhat to find the fitting. Looks like a tire valve.

Follow the big air line off the compressor to the ping tank over the trans door, then forward to the bulkhead.

Somewhere between the ping tank and where the line disappears into the bulkhead, you'll find the valve.

Put a tee in the valve line, install a female quick-disconnect, and bingo, you're in business.

Oh, btw, make sure you've got a water trap on your shop air!!


FWIW & HTH. . .
