Makeshift On Board Air (Caddy Style!) :D

Well went to a buds house yesturday and his Pa is a big caddy lover I supose he has 3 he drives all the time and about 4-5 parts cars ...what neat is these old cars have more common luxarys then the new vehicals out right now !! as you go threw the old cars your amazed ! Self diming and brightening headlights stock is awesome but it is just the begginging for these old boats heck I think the whippers come on by there self if the water sencor on the bottom of the windshield is touched with water ..... its crazy but if you can think of it chances are its on a caddy some where...

What Was I looking for ????..... I wanted the Caddy horn mine is kind of whimpy sounding for a big truck.... I pulled a horn and touched it on a good battery and it was sick so I pitched it as I was eyeing under the hood fighting off Wasp I noticed something .......something promising ...... ON BOARD AIR !!!!!!

Im pretty sure it was for the self leveling system on the caddy .

I pulled it and touched it on a good battery and PPPSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTT ....we have contact and alot of it this little compressure really works good .... So what to do with it ....and how ????

It will require a little paint Im thinking of sand blasting it real good and putting some MOPAR purple on it .....I think I will mount it under the hood and run a toggle to the cab.

I grabbed a JC whitney and looked at there ON BOARD AIR SYTEMS and its just about the same thing ...they have resivor tanks that you can pick up and not have to buy the whole thing ..

I guess the first thing I need to do is figger out how much Air it pushes and then figger out what Im going to use it for ???

Air Shocks
Levelers
Tire air ups and rescues
AIR HORN (TRAIN POSSIBLE)
Impacts ... I doubt it but would that be cool

What do you guys think ???

OH yeah heres some picks !

Out of the 4 wires I only used 2 to get it to pump I think the other 2 were for the leveling system sencors on the caddy ???
