Re: Anyone: Delco Pleasur-lift air shocks w POWER PAC compressor?
 

I have to work the rest of the week and only have Saturday off. I have my consealed weapons class that day though, hope I can fit some more truck time in some where. Air lines should be here Wenesday or Thursday I hope.;):chevy:

As the lyric's of a old song go "I'm getting closer to my home"...
I got the compressor mounted and wired and got the pleasure-lift air gauge and momentary switch mounted in the truck this afternoon after work.I wired it and it works so all I need now is air hose and I'm good to go. I hope to be finished by Sunday.;):chevy:

Looking good! Have fun at the concealed carry class - I hope to have time for that soon myself. Pete

Yea it should be interesting with the wife who has never shot a gun before. bought her a .380 last week to use.;):chevy:

Re: Anyone: Delco Pleasur-lift air shocks w POWER PAC compressor?
 

Class got cancealed family member had a car wreck and the shop owner cancealed. Going next Saturday now.

Got the air line kit but it was wrong so I'm back to square one again.;):chevy:

Re: Anyone: Delco Pleasur-lift air shocks w POWER PAC compressor?
 

Well I got it done finally after searching for fitting for weeks I finally found everything I needed to get it going. Very pleased with it.I can pump the bags and dump the bags from the cab now!;):chevy:

Re: Anyone: Delco Pleasur-lift air shocks w POWER PAC compressor?
 

Too cool!!!! Congrats! I was about to PM ya' to see how things were coming along. When possible I'd like to see a larger field of view pic of your dash with the mounted controller. Any advice you can share on the fittings would be appreciated. Pete

Never mind on the pic I just saw post #42...

Re: Anyone: Delco Pleasur-lift air shocks w POWER PAC compressor?
 

The rear fittings of the guage and knob were the trouble ones. They are 3/16" and no one has them. I ended up doing a 3/16" union with 3/16" brake line with the 1/4" rubber hose with clamps on it. I just closed off the other side with a cap fitting. The rest was easy it all just went right together.
One major big change was the Park Ave compressor wouldn't even put pressure on the line so I ended up putting a cheap 12 volt compressor I had under the truck. It's noisy but it works. I may end up buying a compressor later though.;):chevy:

Re: Anyone: Delco Pleasur-lift air shocks w POWER PAC compressor?
 

Just a follow up on this. I added a small compressor to pump the air bags with. :chevy:

Wow, I really need one of these setups complete. I have the "shraeder fill" manual kind. Right now I have too much rake anyway, so haven't installed it yet.

BTW, on the topic of concealed carry and newly acquired firearms, I should throw this out there. I have three of them (non-fingerprint kind). Since a gun should be in a holster or a safe and never elsewhere, this makes it trivial:

I have a complete NOS Pleasur-lift set up (not what's pictured above, another w hoses, mount hardware, etc. complete) - my brother shows no interest in using it on his 66 GTO sadly. If interested, shoot me a PM.

Re: Anyone: Delco Pleasur-lift air shocks w POWER PAC compressor?
 

Sorry to revive a almost 5 year old thread, but I just got ahold of a gauge like you have pictured here, and want to set it up like Andy did.
My question. What line went where in the back of the gauge, and is the plug that is there suppose to be there? Just unsure how the gauge works

Re: Anyone: Delco Pleasur-lift air shocks w POWER PAC compressor?
 

Do you have the Vacuum pump also? One line is for the vacuum and the other is to go to the shocks.

I have this in the Ramp truck now hooked up to my air tank for pumping up tires and such. The fittings are the orignal's for it. I have a couple of extra's just in case one fails. :chevy:

Re: Anyone: Delco Pleasur-lift air shocks w POWER PAC compressor?
 

Here is how it looks now. I plugged the one inlet off since all this is a gauge for the air tank. I'm not using the vacuum pump.:chevy:

Re: Anyone: Delco Pleasur-lift air shocks w POWER PAC compressor?
 

After looking at your pictures I went right out to the garage and put air on the fitting on the gauge side. Gauge worked perfect! Pushed the center button, and the pressure bled off perfectly!

I plan to just use it as a gauge and do a momentary contact switch to an electric pump to air up my air helper springs just like you did earlier in the thread.

Where did you get a fitting to go into the back of the gauge?

I also am curious even though it is not relavent to me setting it up properly. How is the knob suppose to work? Is it suppose to allow more pressure the more you turn it??

Re: Anyone: Delco Pleasur-lift air shocks w POWER PAC compressor?
 

The knob is how you turned the Vacuum pump on when used. It didn't change pressure it was a ON/OFF only.:chevy:

Re: Anyone: Delco Pleasur-lift air shocks w POWER PAC compressor?
 

I appreciate your help Andy!
One final question.
Do you remember the part number for the fitting that holds the line in the back of the gauge? Or at least where you got it

Re: Anyone: Delco Pleasur-lift air shocks w POWER PAC compressor?
 

Those fittings where what my dad had left over when he gave it to me. I got a few more from a member on here but ended up using all of them. I have no part numbers and not home to look. :chevy:

Re: Anyone: Delco Pleasur-lift air shocks w POWER PAC compressor?
 

Okay I understand. If you do find a part number would you please post it here?

Re: Anyone: Delco Pleasur-lift air shocks w POWER PAC compressor?
 

Will do sir! :chevy:
