SSEi Air Compressor

Post by Silver Bullet »

I was just wondering if anyone knows how many gallons the air compressor is in my 2000 SSEi. I'm looking to do a little mod and if the compressor is big enough I will save some cash. Thanks!

There is no tank. It's just a compressor and some lines. I don't know the specs on it, either.

Please don't put train horns on it....

I thought about all the silly things one could do with on-board air, and train horns were at the top of the list, LOL.

70psi max, very low flow, no tank.

It won't run train horns.

That's a cool thing to do in our 63 Galaxie interceptor clone...LOL So is flipping on the cherry and siren and gun it! Granted it's a 223 I6 with a three on the tree, but still fun to mess with people...

My brother has a PA in his truck. Haven't decided which is funner, embarassing the people around us, or embarassing him while he's driving through traffic... lol
