I got a question on this 6-port article...

Here it is: http://www.fc3s.org/6-ports.html

Why would you still need the stock air pump if you are already using an air compressor?

I'm looking to ditch my Air pump with my ACV but can't do so b'c I need It for my auxilliary ports. Besides the air compressor found In older Caddys, Is anybody using anything modern for a substitute?

that's what i thought too. i just don't get it why there were 2 air compressor for this setup. My current setup works without using an RPM switch. I just tee in a hose between the air pump and 6-ports and uses a valve to control the air pressure. But now I wanted to get rid off my air pump so I will need to use an RPM switch and a 12V air compressor.

I have a 12V Air Compressor for horns and will be hooking up the "Summit RPM switch" to activate it.

Where did you get It? From a salvaged car or the store?

EBAY. But I think you can also get it from auto store. mine produces like 7-8 psi, which is good enough for the 6-ports

Could I get a link or a description of It? Do I search for "12volt air compressor"? How much did you pay for It? (yeah, I know. I'm being a ballbreaker).
