          Nope, never happens to me. But on a related note, does anyone have a clue why I bought a 3:71 blower case and rotors and carried them around for 10+ years?

            10+ years... Sounds like quite a burden Dan. Didn't you have any place to put it down then?

            The charger is a Raptor VLC. Made in Australia. Good for 10psi and/(or?) engines upto 5.8 Liters (350ci).
            I bought it because I thought my daily Dart could use a little help (from) 'down under'.
            Nice thing about it that it's watercooled and it also comes with it's internal belt cooler. I would've thought it had gears inside, but it's beltdriven for quieter operation.

            I'll now have to decide to go with pull or blow-through carburation. The Dart's fuelsystem is LPG fed through it's stock tiny 2-bbl carb.
            I'm leaning to a pull-through intake system for ease of installation.
            Any tips are welcome.

              blown fuel... and by fuel we mean propane... I don't know why that's so appealing to me, but it is.... be sure to post details as you build that

                Thoughts of installing a Megasquirt-system have crossed my mind aswell lately.
                Mainly because if I go with a blow-through system, I'm loosing vacuum-advance on the ignition, and thus some mpg's aswell perhaps.
                I know mpg's might suffer slightly with this airpump installed, but I'm trying to minimise the losses as best I can.
                Currently I'm getting 16-17 mpg (highway miles) out of this motor. I would like to at least keep it above 15mpg if possible.
