On my '76 I rebuilt the entire system using modern silicone tubing including the tube to the air valve and had excellent results, the system was good for certainly more than 30 nice squirts enough for say a 150 mile trip in inclement weather and would hold pressure for about 2 weeks sitting with no problem, now the '71 system is origional and leaks off badly but I will rebuild it stock, still an electric system would never require you to remember to repressurize a definite plus, especially on a bad night with no air pump, no gas stations in sight, and no pressure.
