Comment on 1965 Latham Supercharger Brochure by Dick Kiusalas

I have a question I hope someone can answer. What is the lowest drive ratio for a Latham blower? I presently have a 5 3/4″ drive pully and a 3″ blower pully on a built Ford flathead with 2 Stromberg carbs. It runs,but the blower seems to be holding the motor back. What would be a good street drive ratio ?…Dick-Cape Cod

and fitting a thermostat 74c reduce the overheating.

Comment on Paxton Supercharger Small Block Mopar Mounting Bracket, early 1970′s vintage by Scott

I don’t own the piece to take dimensions of nor know of one of these brackets off hand, but if we can get a digital file I would love to host it here for others.

On a somewhat related note, I fabricated a similar bracket out of steel for mounting a Paxton on the 283 in my Model A. Made a template out of thick cardboard then tranferred it over to steel once I worked out the dimensions.

Good luck guys!

Hi:
I have one of these set-ups in my garage. It is suposed to be the last complete package Norms had on the shelf. They sent two blowers because one was a warenty blower (bad bearing?) and he could not tell what one was bad so he sent them both and a note explaining it ( wish I had the note) I plan on giving the car to my son I would love any info that would help in the restoration.
