Reply to "Looking for Magnacharger blower kit info."

The Magnecharger was originally built to clear the low hoods on '80s Corvettes, and Wilkinson adapted it to the Pantera. They were popular in 1980, but its been out of production for decades. The company was sold to B & M, who decided that it was too expensive to produce. Parts are available from the original designer, Jerry Magneson, who still has a few complete units, I hear. Most ones that turn up are thoroughly thrashed swap-meet units, and remember you need the Pantera mount kit & jackshaft to go with the basic blower. Hot Rod did a comparo of all street blowers back in the '80s; the Magnecharger was one that they said worked well, but could not put out over about 6psi on a 350 inch engine. The 50 DCOE side-draft Webers are rare now, too, having also gone out of production. Some belt alignment problems have shown up, and a variety of fixes have been used by die-hard Pantera guys.
