Re: Newbie bagger

Thanx mikey...do the make a manual valve with a 3/8 set up. I kinda like the manual idea. Do you have any pros and cons when it comes to the manual and the electric valves

Re: Newbie bagger

I know you can find 1/4", 3/8", and even 1/2" if you really search.......

As far as quality.......I have personally seen the MIC (masterimagecustoms) manual valves leak.

AirLift sells a pretty decent 1/4" manual valve that you might wanna look into.

Re: Newbie bagger

Some people have harsh words regarding AccuAir and about them being the new kids on the block. I have heard of issues with one valve sticking but that is EXTREMELY rare......and AccuAir is exceptional regarding customer support. I dont work for AccuAir or get anything in return for recommending them........besides happy customers. I wouldn't buy anything else personally......unless it was a manual valved rat rod.......or a nitrogen hopper.

AccuaAir is nice stuff, and if it is in the budget, then a very good way to go. Clean and simple setup.

Whether it is AccuAir or regular electric valves, I prefer them because it is easier to run wires inside the cab, than air line.... and you have the option of running a 3/8" air system.

If you run the correct wiring (proper amp rating) to 8 valves outside of the passenger compartment, safely, then its not that big of a difference to figure out air line.

I just finished a 64 coupe deville and the front lines (3/8) enter the interior through a factory grommet in the passenger firewall.
