Speedfreak Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 What is the induction system shown for the 409 in the Pepper Shaker kit? Looks like four side mounted carbs. Looking for reference pics, cant find any! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spex84 Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Here's something similar... The carbs on the Pepper Shaker are probably carter side-drafts like the ones in the '53 Corvette and AMT '25 T (with latham supercharger), but I'd have to check.

Mark Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 It is similar to the Olds setup pictured, but that blower is a Supercharger Company of Turin (S.C.O.T.) unit and not a Latham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) The Pepper Shaker has the same optional blown induction system all the AMT '57 Chevys had...Carter YH side-draft carbs, on a not-very-good S.C.o.T. blower...definitely not a Latham. Carter side-drafts were used on early 6-cylinder Corvettes, as Chris mentions, Corvair turbocharged cars, and lotsa other stuff. The blower in the '57 Chevy kit is definitely supposed to be a S.C.o.T, as nothing else from the period looks much like it, but it's lacking many of the fins that easily identify a real one. Chris' (Spex84) photo is what the setup should look like. EDIT: The '25 T kit has similar carbs, but that kit's blower IS a Latham.

Spex84 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Whoops, I didn't mean to suggest the blower on the Olds above is a Latham, which is not the case; it's a S.C.O.T as pointed out by Mark! Clarity fail ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
