wouldnt be a bad idea to just get 2 of those stingers.. not too expensive (especially compared to replacing several starter type solenoids) and with 2, what are the chances both ever could burn out (or 1 even since theyre nice) so less worry of bein stranded somewhere having to worry about hardwiring a compressor or somethin to get home.

with 2 az compressors run 2 curcit breakers,2 80 solenoids,and run 8 gauge wire!!!! all of our wiring kits come with this exact stuff....

yea im running a pressure switch but i have the switch so i can turn to comp. off so that i dosent drain the batt. at night. my buddy is running the same soleniod but an 80 amp with four firestone comp and an on/off swtch and has no problems. my solenoid and my buddies are four prongs if you dont want to run a switch just get a three prong

if you hook up your compressor to an accersory (spelling) wire under your dash or in your fuse box you wont have to worry about it draining your battery at night

the only reason i dint hook it up to the acc is i want to able to run my car and not the comp. but if i had a newer car with a better chargeing system i wouldnt put in a switch.

but with the switch it is just one more thing on the pile of things that could go wrong
