The aw11 is way cooler than the sw20 IMO. Less round, more square edges. Lighter. Those dudes would be a lot cooler if they didn't just shove a k20 into literally everything lol. They used to be nearby

Found it...
Now I just need to pick up a 3/8" to 1/2" reducer fitting for the intake filter.
The other option is to drill the intake filter housing for the engine and run a hose to the York. But I'm more inclined to just keep it simple.

Haha, true. I am a little materialistic, but a lot of it is a requirement of intellectual pursuits, or long-term financial stability.. Like talking about quality jeep parts. Is it materialistic preferring expensive quality parts? A little bit. But it's motivated by building the jeep best I can, not spending the money. Or buying a 300$ vacuum vs a 50$ one. I like the expensive one. But not cos it costs more.
I'm just saying stuff you use gets a location. Stuff that you have, just because you have it, should move on down the road. That's the theory...not what I practice. I have a work shop full of shit I've bought for a one time use that I hang on to.
I'm the guy that cuts the 20' long power cord off the dead vacuum cleaner because someday I might need an extension cord...
A philosophy from a different time. It's much better for my quality of life to hang on to a special tool for 5 years and use it twice, than to buy it twice.
I’ve purchased some tools for the new build that I intend to sell when I’m done with them and if I need another I’ll buy it when I need it. Can’t store everything.
Interesting. Having dealt with Facebook Marketplace before, the time it takes to sell something is rarely worth it for me. Unless it's a decent sum
I’ve never tried. Mrs App sells stuff all the time so I have her do it.

Got the new distribution block set-up. Just need the fitting for the air tank.
And then it'll set something like this on the fender.
I've got to change the check valve out also.

Sorry to derail your thread lol! What's that goop around everything on the distru block?
Some kind of liquid teflon or other paste type thread sealer.
I am not a thread sealant expert. Only ever seen the tape
It works pretty good.
I've used it in conjunction with tape... It was required to pass code when I was installing natural gas piping, to tape, paste, and tape each joint. Never failed a pressure test using that method.
Sometimes I'm a little jealous how some of your trade's intersect with this hobby lol

I learned most of what I know in the Army. Working as a generator mechanic it was both gas & diesel engines plus electrical. And when I joined we also did hydraulic stuff. So I learned a wide range of stuff.
Then thru the years I got to work on a wide range of equipment that wasn't part of my initial training. From dirt bikes to the fast attack buggies because they had a VW engine. And then a lot of other unique stuff that you'd only see in certain parts of the country.
I'm no fabricator by any measure.
