That blower set-up sits low on the intake manifold, and has 4 carbs that attach to the blower, two on each side sticking out horizontally. Can anyone educate me as to what this represents from the 1:1 world? Looks like it could be a Penco supercharger with a Mickey Thompson carb adaptor.

Only AMT kits I know of with Latham blowers are the 25 T and the 65 Riviera. Not saying there arent others, but they all look about the aame.

DukeE Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 (edited) Latham's look like a loaf of bread, , Penco/SCOT etc are far shorter and taller. Latham's usually have intake/carbs on sides, Penco/SCOT have intake on top, 57 had the odd manifold to the top with plenum runners. Most ran with carbs on top. McCulloch's usually pressurize carb, so fuel/carb is on positive pressure side. They look like a ribbed donut/snail, can be large. Latham https://www.jalopyjournal.com/?p=20906 SCOT Penco same ad as Dave's Paxton-McCulloch usual mount (OEM for Ford F-engines, Studebaker R3) McCulloch side? mount Same, view of drive belt going thru small gearbox to impeller drive. I think. Not completely sure about these. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/mcculloch-supercharger.1075117/ Have seen great '40 Ford pickup with one, heard it run.
