George,
Did you simply put in a splitter for the air or did you also add a check
valve to prevent back pressure on the pump? I will be doing this setup soon
and just want to know what I will need. Thanks George!!!!

I use both the electric and vacuum compressors on my cars. The electric
is great for a quick build up or if you are sitting and cycling the doors up
and down. Get a good one with a pressure switch that turns it on @80psi and
off @120psi. I use the Thomas compressor that is available through
Graingers. Part numbers are on our website in Tech central. Terry Tanner
also sells one that will build up to 150psi. The Hadley vacuum compressors
are no longer made but they do still rebuild them as long as they have the
kits. Cost is 40.00. The vacuum compressors are nice to have because as you
are driving they will build the system up to about 140-150psi. With this
setup, the electric pumps last much longer. The other secret is to make sure
that your system is free of leaks.
George.
Happy New Year to all!!!!!
