Air bag suspension parts sourcing and plubming

Hey guys, I'm sourcing parts to run airbags on the rear of my 64, and i'm having a hell of a time trying to find info on what air valves and how to plumb an airbag system.

I've been doing some reading, and most of the questions asked are what bags/kits to use, how they bags themselves are installed, and reliability concerns. I haven't really seen anyone ask how to plumb the system.

I have some airbags, i have a compressor, I have the airtank, and a guage panel (2 dual needle gauges with 4 switches for individual bag inflation/deflation).

What I still need (and am trying to figure out) is what kind of air valve i will need to control the bags individually, how many valves, and how to plumb everything so I can make it work.

At the moment, I'm only going to plumb the rear air bags, since I plan on swapping the front end suspension to something newer and will plumb airbags for the front at a later date.


So, to recap, air valves: what kind, and how many for individual airbag control?

Second, how should I plumb everything? Can someone provide a basic diagram?
