But I checked Family Farm and Home and got this 60 Gallon unit on sale for $599. I have a roll of 10 AWG wire coming to wire up a cord. (My garage has 240) So now I can use many more air tools. https://www.familyfarmandhome.com/industrial-air-air-compressor-607645.html Keep old mopars alive.

I used a brass 1/4" NPT elbow with a 6" ? nipple with the valve and another elbow on the end. Just crack the valve every morning before starting it as all the water will be at the bottom. If you don't use it every day, just crack it open to drain the majority and recheck later or before using again. www.tandmautomotive-omaha.com
