McCulloch VS-57 Supercharger resources?

I just bought myself a McCulloch Supercharger, I don't have it yet but should soon.
It's in used unknown condition, I have to assume it will need a complete going through.
I know very little about these things so I'm trying to research sources for parts, service and information.
I am hoping the HAMB can provide some advice from people that have used and worked on these things.

anybody out there running one of these? Alex?

 

thanks Jeff, I've looked at most of those, I'll check them out again.

fwiw,
it's a more or less complete setup to fit the early/mid '50s Cadillac motors that I intend to adapt to work on the early Olds motors

in my mind it should be possible to duplicate the geometry of the Cad bracket(s) to mount all the critical bits in their correct orientation on the Olds...

 

anyone out there currently running one?

 

no. i have been thinking of picking one up though. The first link from jeff norwell is good. ill be watching to see how it goes!

 

looks like getting the initial setup correct will be the challenge

 

there used to be vs57.com but it's gone now, but you can use archive.org to look at the old site, lots of good info there.

here's a link to a social group some of the people in there should be able to answer some questions

 

I have one on my '28.

I made the costly mistake of having it rebuilt by the wrong guy, the first time.

Second time I had it rebuilt by John Erb, and it looks like its holding up good now.

P/M me for more Info...

 

go to the kfclub.com webpage there is several articals about the supercharger, and the folks who routinely rebuild them.
