Mine is a 64 and I belive I have everythiing set up about how you would set up your 62. What would you like to know to start with?

[mr64magic]

You should probably decide what size you want everything. I'm running 1/2 inch. Slam specailties have huge bags and that's what I'm using there is plenty of room. You will need a cup set too. Valves I would recommend xtreme they rise and drop like hydros. They have 250 psi on up. I'm running 450's. For a FBSS you will need 8 of them. I recommend you do it all the way around. If you try and do a F and B only you won't be able to level your car right and it will lean. I have 2 air tanks one for each side and two Viair compressors to fill them. Pressure switches I have 175 but they have 200 psi's. I have it wired just like hydros with a 10 switch box. two dual needle guages. and DOT line. or copper or stainless lines just depends on what you want to use. you will need a couple relays. Most of the kits you see to buy, i don't think they are very good. I would recommend getting the right parts as you go. This might give you something to think about.

Did you finally get what you needed?

there are a lot of different way to do a air setup seeing the different way of doing it might help so this is how I did it I have a 63 Impala that has 10 on the switch box I also run 2 Viair compressors for when I run out of nitrogen and 600 PSI slam bag very similar to mr64magic setup I don’t run a pressure switch (that’s not recommended) it’s always good to have a pressure switch my compressors turns off and on with a toggle switch I have gauges for all four bags and my tank the tank is five gallons and has six ½ inch ports and four smaller one not to sure of the size I have been running some cheep ½ inch valves for about two years with no problems they are rated at 250 PSI I run the setup at about 300 PSI all the time but I have pushed them to just over 415 PSI for short periods of time I will soon upgrade the valve to better ones I personally recommend mounting valves as close to the bag as you can get mine front valves sit on the inner fender well and the back valves are off the tank if you run at a high PSI you might want fill controllers on the back valve so the back of the car dose not jump of the ground at 200 PSI the back of my 63 came off the ground about 3-6 inch so i slowed it down with the fill contollers

[mr64magic]

yeah i set mine up the same way with the valves close to the bags.

[SLAMMED63CHEVY]

I have tryed both valve setup 1-all the valves off the tank in the trunk and 2-putting the front valves off the inner fender well and found that it's faster having the valves as close as you can get to the bag
