Air shifter Question???

I have seen a air line device (I dont know what it's called)Just below the steering wheel on funnycars the air shifter lines go into it and turns with the wheel It's like collar around the column. Like I said I dont know what its called But I'm tring to find out where you can get it who makes them Etc. Sorry about the description Bruce Mullins has one on his car That is where I saw it maybe I should ask him?? Thanks Jamie

 

I know what you mean, cant remember what its called either, did you try the McKinney and S&W websites?

I bought a used one that is from S.A.E I think it is Specialty automotive engineering in California. I can't find the phone number but I know I had it at one time. If I find it I will let you know.

the one on my dragster says LONG MFG. i'll have to look at it to see what other writing is on it.

 

Mike Strasburg at B&J transmissions has them.

 

WHAT ARE THEY CALLED I DONT WANT TO CALL SOMEONE AND SAY THAT THING ON THE STEERING COLUMN FOR THE AIR SHIFTER LOL THANKS JAMIE

 

I think the official term is "air shifter steering column thing-ama-jig"

 

The company is called SAE and their phone number is 714-972-8006. I think it's just quick release air coupler. You can call Mike Strasburg @ 801-358-9694. He will know exactly what its called and I think he has them in stock.

 

I called B&J they dont stock them. But he told me about SAE I called them and was told that they are out of stock and wont have any for about a 6 to 8 weeks Anyboby else know who might have a air shifter steering column thing-ama-jig Thanks Danny at least I now know what its called LOL Jamie

I have one in stock. It is for a 2 speed. You can see it under products at WWW.jd2chassis.com

 

I'M RUNNING A LENCO 3 SPEED TRANS THANKS FOR THE REPLY JAMIE

 

Jamie,
This is the piece that you need for a 3 speed. Sorry that I wasn't clear. This has 2 ports, which is what you need for a 3 speed.

I'LL CALL YOU ABOUT THE MANIFOLD THANKS JAMIE

 

Tom at Wizards should have what you need.
Air shifter kit (3 speed buttons, lines & steering column manifold) as listed in his catlog.
The part # I have is #814. My catlog is about 5 years old or more so the part numbers may be different. With this set up you don't have to wrap any lines around steering componets.
Phone # 1-800-282-3442

Hope this helps
Bob

 

I have one that I no longer need. It's hard anadized for 3 speed tranny which I built. It's shorter in length than the SAE model so it's easier to adapt. It's hard to describe this steering colum thing-a-ma-jiggy. Have pictures I can email. Cell me--Reeper 512-928-2240
