Wilsons Sandbox

All: digitaldon, who had no problem installing a Judson (MG 26) on 7993, found that the two A-section belts and the stock Judson driven pulley of 3 1/4" OD and driver (engine) pulley of 3 5/16" OD worked OK up to 7 lbs. boost. When he tried a smaller pulley (2 1/2" OD, if memory serves), on the blower, 10 lbs. of boost could easily be obtained. While one could embarrass Jagwires with this setup, belt slippage would destroy the belts (ordinary Dayton 4L470) in a half hour or so. Luckily, the engine will still run with shot belts, thus one kin get home (gingerly). Don TC 7993
