Another compressor problem

[ebirder2000@...]

John, I believe that the 77 vintage birds did not have an air dryer. They
started incorporating them in the early 80s models. You should have a spitter
assembly attached to the bottom of your primary air tank. It spits air and oil
from it on a low volume basis. Sometimes makes a mess. You also should have a
valve at the bottom of all three air tanks that should be opened
occasionally to drain any moisture and oil that accumulates in the tanks.(Also
making a
mess).

Scott, Where would the air dryer be? I have an little gizmo which I
assumed was some kind of filter on the side of the compressor. Other
then that I don't know what I am looking for.
