Do you guys use a relay or just wire it directly to a switch?
I can't find the amp draw for the clutch to make my own decision.

Mine is wired through a switch with a relay.

You can get relay's brand new for a couple dollars at radio shack or any auto parts house.
And I use a relay also.

I think I might have one in the garage I could use.
Tomorrow I will be getting a new bearing or the tensioner and then mounting the york again.
I got the play games with the bracket since the clutch on the york has the wrong offset to work with the rest of the pulleys on my engine.

Anybody have part numbers and businesses to buy the other crap for the york system?
IE: Pressure switch, manifold, filter?
I am not rich enough to buy the stuff from Kilby.

You can buy it all at your local hardware store.

I am in Mississippi.
I don't think they believe in hardware stores....everything here is built with duct tape and bailing wire.
I will check the local Lowes though.

Scott's right: much of it can be found in the plumbing section at Lowe's / Home Despot / Ace / Tru Value / whatever.
A manifold, for instance, can be made from a tee or a cross... 3/8" seems to work well, though 1/4" is okay. I don't find a lot of fittings use 1/2" (and these are all NPT thread sizes, btw!) My distribution manifold under my hood is a coupla maybe 2" long pipe nipples with a bunch of tee's between. Seal it up with some thread goop, works nicely and is easy to mount with strap to whatever.
Filters are a bit trickier; I got mine from Sears on a closeout (they don't usually stock them in the stores any more), but all you need is something with pipe thread (actually, for this I did use 1/2", figuring to get as much air into the compressor as possible) and some cardboard in it =)) Some places will carry them in their lawnmower parts -- look for someplace that services lawnmowers or air compressors, or worst case, ping me and I can dig you up the Sears part # to order from them online.
The pressure switch, however, I was *totally* unable to find locally and had to get from Kilby. (I mean, you could order from McMaster or Grainger, prolly, but they're all gonna ream you, grrr.)

Pressure switch http://www.truckspring.com/pressure-switches_310.html
Small, two wires, and mine works like a charm.

Till the pressure switch kicks it off. I have the non-adjustable one that is pre-set. I believe it shuts off at 120 PSI
Yeah, like Muddytazz... I think mine kicks off a bit higher, maybe 140ish. I suspect my blowoff valve is 150, so it's dang close, but then the tank is on the opposite end of the truck from the compressor, so there'll be some loss in the rubber line that far.
I have a regulator set to 80psi, IIRC, for the ARB, and another regulator in the back at about 90 for air tools and airing up the tires.

As long as the parts the air is going thru can handle it, the york will actually put out somewhere around 230 PSI.
Yeah everything is rated plenty good. Shuts off at 160. Not too much higher than the short average we have hear. Seems to pump really well about 1200 rpm.
