Ridewell down in the front.

[Curt Sprenger]

Jim,

There might be Clippard air/12v valves in your bus. On the PT they are
used to control lots of air stuff including inflating/deflating the air
springs. They are located behind the drivers side front panel, are the
dia. of a nickel and about 2" tall, yellow head, wires and 1/16" air
lines to/from them. They are mounted in two manifolds. check this link
http://www.clippard.com/store/byo_electr...efault.asp the very top
valve.

Call me if you would like me to stop by 269-6197.
