Air Issue (Not A/C) and Motor Cleaning

[Tom Warner]

Just a little more information that may help relative to parts for
the Bendix AD-2 air dryer.

Check valve kit: Bendix 00287298 cost $6.93

Purge valve kit (spitter valve) Bendix 00287053 cost $13.94

Dissicant cartridge Bendix 0010900 cost $32.00

I got all of mine from NAPA although there are a lot of places on the
internet that you can buy them at.
