Hot Rods Need to identify an old blower!

I picked this blower up yesterday from an elderly gentleman, it’s set up for a small block by being mounted to an old offy 4bbl intake. The blower housing itself is cast iron I believe?

Does anyone have any knowledge about this??

Thanks!

Looks like one of vapor extractor pumps we use on large oil supply tanks on our large turbine/generator units in the power pants I work in for 45 yrs. Always wondered if a guy could do that. They were cast iron and double vane...never wore out.

 

Looks similar to the old Scot type blower. HRP

 

Vacuum chambers use a roots style pump also

 

Damn sure is cool !!

 

Awesome, thank you.

I’m guessing they make the same amount of boost as any other blower?

 

Cool! Might need a rebuild? Maybe you can spin it with a 1/2" drill or something and see how much air comes shootin' out?

 

Also I just looked a little closer and it looks like it has the word DATE stamped into it and a B embossed?

 

Whew! I thought you found my ex wife and was trying to give her back....

 

Need to identify an old blower!

Wish I could help you out but I promised her that I wouldn't tell her name.

 

Pretty cool, except for the Quadrajet on top. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Since we used them to "suck" I have no idea. The tanks were on the ground floor and the piping went to the top of the boiler, some over 200 feet.
