Charger
We ordered the largest volume mechanical fuel pump we could find. It's supposed to pump 120 gph and should be enough to keep both carbs full.
Reproduction battery tray assembly made by AMD. Test fit perfect.
High torque MSD mini starter arrived this week also.
I gave the blower intake a quick re-polish and sprayed some clear enamel on it this time to keep it from tarnishing. These old Weiand 383/400 supercharger intakes are super rare and hard to find. The blower studs and gaskets also arrived this week.
The decision was made to make the car's suspension as tight as possible with all new components. (ball joints, bushings etc...)
Red polyurethane was chosen to add a bit more detail to the suspension while improving the ride over the stock rubber components.
A Wilwood clutch master cylinder arrived. We still haven't ordered the hydraulic throw out bearing.
Remote billet aluminum reservoir was an extra $80. It should look nice in the engine bay but I think it was overpriced.
New chrome power steering pump should look good installed.
The blower studs are red anodized aluminum with 12 point hardened steel nuts. We're new to this supercharger stuff so we weren't originally aware we were supposed to run aluminum studs. Apparently they're meant to break off in the event of a blower explosion. - Sounds spooky...
