Air solenoid questions
Guys I'm trying to find an air solenoid for an air ride setup. I'm not having much luck but it could be that I have no idea what I'm looking at when I find some.
I was looking at these two but can anyone tell me if they will even work for this application?

The main thing that confuses me is how to tell if it has a dump/vent/bleeder/purge or whatever term people prefer to use.
I know I need an inlet for the compressor, outlet for the shocks, but no idea to tell online if these solenoids contain the electric activated purge

I am sitting here trying to remember exactly how I did it.. Tough gettin old ya know!
I have a switch that opens the valve on the solenoid that dumps the air... it is a three way valve supply, outlet and exhaust

OK good, so would it be safe to say that any three or four way solenoid should function the way I need it to? Some say normally closed or normally opened however which I don't know what to look for in that aspect either.

I hope I have helped, if you look at the pic in my album it shows the solenoid hooked up with the compressor on the bike frame the lines are black, the pic with the clear lines was a mockup to see how the air bags would really work..
