The reassure switch has adjustable screw to set it to shut off at 120 psi
When all things are working it should not need to run much

I’ve touched every part of my 73 Canyonlands I know first hand and have made all of my (many) repairs. With regards to the air compressor. I have learned that the original is slow…..very slow to get to 100-120 psi (mine is set at 120 psi). And I’m not sure that a perfect original was ever fast. Bob, the on/off switch is the ignition switch. It runs in the on and acc position. There should be an out-board pressure switch mounted next to the Dana Compressor. This will shut off the compressor at a predetermined adjustable psi. The storage tank is located on the passenger side of the vehicle very near underneath the two batteries. The tank has a drain, a safety relief valve and mine included a scrader valve. I’ve added a run LED in the warning panel but the compressor is so noisy that I hardly need a light. I’ve also added a guage at the tank and a QD for the unexpected. I have been using mine for the past 1 year during the restoration and surprisingly it has performed better than expected.
I commend you on your efforts.

I know absolutely NOTHING about the 1973 air ride system. So I know I'm LOST. Then with parts missing. There is a pressure shut off switch. Were is the manual off switch. The right side controls are not there. This part of this GMC is a mess. Bob Dunahugh
