To everyone thar e mailed me i will give a common response back

Have not installed compressor yet but it bolts somewhere (cross member )
@ front of car. too cold to work on car.

heard it takes 4 minutes @ 125 to 150 to fill air tank ( from brick mag.
)

tank is welded to back bumper and is 29.5 x 5.5 x 3.25 inches , inside
dimension or 527 cubic inches or .30 cubic feet.

will buy and install air in line filter 

never had the vacuum pump  just the hydraulic system

length of air line is  from front of car to air control panel to back
bumper and hook up for cylinder to panel

paid 875 u.s. for the kit: air control panel,air tank,tubing,front load
stabilizer cylinders and looks like a h/d elect comp. and a few
fittings. cost of comp. is ? but my guess is around $350.00

elect compressor is one piece and looks rebuildable and is not belt
driven. power comes from the battery side of the starter. # 10 wire is
recommended with a 35 amp toggle switch ( which i managed to find ) to
turn off comp when not in use and a 35 anp fuse.

saw 30 amp fuses but use # 12 wire --- # 10 is recommended. have been to
5 or 6 outlets and so far no 35 amp fuses.

        could i use a fuse like the one used for the hydraulic doors - placed
in the battery compartment a square or rectangular metal box that works
like a circuit breaker. cuts in and out automatically without having to
replace any fuses. but is this a slow or fast delay. ? any comments and
will keep looking.
