Had some luck today and thought i'd share(glote) with you all! I had a guy call me and ask if i was intrested in some side work fixing his yukon, I'm hard up for money rightnow so i said sure bring it over. Wel he gets to my house and we pull it into the garage and it sounds like a bearing on a pully is toast, i said nice an easy job.
Pop the hood to locate the noise and find it coming from a nifty litle contraption hanging of the side of the engine, the guy starts to say that the kid he bought it from put it on and now its making noise and he just wants it off! My next question was can i have it and he said sure, pulled it apart and the front bearing broke the cage so 10 dallar fix...
And now i have a delema..... boost the duster as it's a 8.5-1 comp engine or change directions on the 10.5-1 nitrous engine in the dart!?
I know horrible delema!!!

I would stick it on the Duster. Blowers are a lot of fun keep it and do the old school fuel pump pressure reference (put a fitting on the vent for the fuel pump and a small hose to the blower output) !

:lol: It's a cool charger model#pd 11484, i think the company has gone out of buisness. With the dart i will have to figure out how to get it mounted on the motor plate, Either way it will be fun to use!

Use the blower AND a small shot... it's alway nice to have "a little extra" at the press of a button!
