I would like to include my Latham supercharger. It is both number 2173 and 2174 as verified by owner, Richard Paul of “Latham Superchargers”, himself.

A old article and cover of the Rodding and re-styling from 1959

 

Only $396 in 1957?

Wow that’s so cool to have the paperwork

 

Sadly it's not mine, I just stumbled onto it whilst looking for other Latham information on the interweb

 

LOL that's just shipping. Not bad for Air freight.

 

I just picked up #372

 

Here’s another pic of it

 

Actually it is # 372 but the serial # seemed to start at 1000 so it's as pictured 1372, .A few of the early pre pre-productions started at 0001 but those are extremely rare BUT nothing special unless you'd want to brag.

This is the registry isn’t it? Which is what I’m doing, registering it not bragging, Jesus dude

I think he was just sharing info, not getting on your case. Nice score, I wish I could afford the FE version, maybe after my next lottery win

 

I recently purchased this Latham set up. It is serial number 001417 and is for an FE Ford. Also included with the sale is the original instructions. I am assuming it is from 1960 or older because the instructions only list 332, 352 and 361 cubic inch.

 

Is this one in your registry?

I don’t have the number off of my old one but Fireball500 owned it last I knew.

Any way you would be willing to scan and upload the instructions?

 

I would love to see a copy of the instructions. I'm nearly ready to fire mine up and am wondering what type of oil/grease is recommended to use in the bearings?

 

Model 16-A
Serial 001410

 

Back in 1962, a friend of mine had one installed on a Volvo PV544, the torpedo back, and when hauling ass, the blower sounded like the car was ready to rotate and take off. It made that car come alive.

We have a 14-A, ser no 001327. We got it as just the top with carbs. 4 YH carbs. I made adaptors to put it on a 46 Cadillac flathead, but not having the lower pulley, I just used the stock caddy pulley. Made a upper, small as I could, V-belt pulley for it. Probably won't make any boost, but its ok, its a display engine.

 

Man, I just love these superchargers. I'm definitely putting one on my V12 project...

 

see if I can add a crappy picture. 14A, Number 001327

 

Like that. Very inique.
