The parts show up on EBAY every once in a while. Usually for too much money. There are several places that have a dwindling supply of parts that I'll list later. I just wanted to shoot a couple pics to you. Chuck

Chuck,
Any chance of you posting a few good pics of the lower balancer.
Didn't they have an electric wire heading to the blower, a weird distr vacuum advance, a different fuel pump and two or three vacuum lines running to different places?
Thanks for posting Chuck !!!!!!!!
Regards,
John

The lower pulley is made to bolt on the damper. They come in varying styles. Mine uses a 7/8" wide single belt. Some use a dual V belt pulley. There is a great site at:
www.mpax.com that will answer almost all of your questions. I'll get some more pictures soon.
The people I've dealt with are:

Are you looking for VR series parts, or the older VS and SN parts. I've got a couple odd pieces, like the cast bracket, from 1955, and I think the tension arm. Will mount a VS, or and SN with the extended pulley.

Guys,
I am starting to sort out superchargers from my dear old friends 45 year collection.
He collected most/some from the 55-56 ford era, 57 ford VS phase one, VR58 and ford SN 60.
Many of the parts have been mixed up, >>> hence the 55-56 ford VS post.
Figured I would sort them out>>one at a time !!!
Moonshadow; thanks for posting your picture, I now know that the one set up is for late 55 into 56 ford Y-block.
I am still confused on a few pulleys, did figure out the Y block ones for the 55-56 units, the 57 ford pass & birds, still lost on the SN 60's.
Pretty sure that one SN is a sb cobra application, it has a aluminum multi angled 4 inch tube which routes off of the blowere>> so the auir cleaner could be placed in the mouth of a Cobra.
The other appears to be for a FE 427 application, think BB Cobra.
** TOPIC>> I believe I need a weird ford vacuum advance, like a 55 ford Y block, but it has two ports, not one, does anybody have one??? I believe the rest of the parts I have to it, are all original.
I think this set up is early/late 55>. heading into all of 56>> the reason being as it has the muffler type air cleaner, not the air cleaner type used later on 57 F model fords.
Confused but trying to sort it all out>> any guidance is very much appreciated.
I personally also need some EDB 57 engine parts and a 57 Phase 1 blower>> will have some extra 57 F pass car parts to trade, or will buy outright. We currently have a 57 Bird F chassis on a rotisseri and have the engine>> we need some phase 1 parts for a 57 pass car which is next to do.
Lengthy post, but I want to make sure of the 55-56 set up, before I post it for sale herein the Y-blocks site !!!
Best regards, and thanks guys,
John

Pegleg,
Thanks for the info and contacts.
Yes, the phase 1 VS is a tough find, hopefully I have some other F parts somebody needs, and a extra phase 1.
Noticed your posted by Elkhart;
as a trivia and historical point, the man that built the futuristic exotic car I have, helped design, was a stock holder, and flagged the Innagurial race at Road America, also had his good friend Harley earl bring some GM concept cars, and also reserved a spot for Gordon Buehrig. Truth be told, and it will be one day, Jim Kimberly, Wacky Arnolt and Ben were the basic builders of the National SCCA.
Warm regards,
John

Old mics,
From what I have read, it is not a stacked dual diafram like the 56.
Original set ups are so dam rare, and pics are the same, hard to figure it all out !!!!!
It has the large diaphram like a 55>> but>> it has a additional boss on the cast part for another vacuum port.
That is my best understanding, and the best way I know how to describe it.
Perhaps it was from a truck or?????
warm regards,
John

Pegleg,
By any chance do you or anybody else you know >> have pics of the old races?
Did you ever go to the Chanute Air force base events? Rantoul Illinois?
I know that Ben, in part, frequented Cumberland, NY, Michigan, Ohio, Iowa and Indiana.
He sanctioned tracks and officiated, him and Kimberly were in the first edition Sports Illustrated for their racing coverage, later they became Pres and V Pres of the SCCA.
You made me smile !!!

Marc,
Thanks, I will touch bases with him.
Yeah, it seems that it will take a little doing to get this 55-56 Supercharger set all figured out, the phase 1, well somebody has to have one and they may need some of the F parts we can trade.
Regards,
John

John, I am interested in the phase 1 passenger cars, are you trying to recreate one? Have you found out any production information on them?

I know of those guys but never met them. I was a 16-17 year old kid at that point and I'm sure they had more important people to talk to. Did get to meet Chuck Stoddard when He dyno'd the later Ace-Bristol that was run at Pelee. Not sure how much good that did, The owner got PASSED by a TR-3 on the straight!! Denise McCluggage was at that race, saw her, didn't get to talk to her. She could drive as well as any man there.
Got away from it when I started Drag Racing.
