I am giving some consideration to a Judson supercharger for my '65. It's the "Brundage" car with under 12K miles and has air conditioning. I dont know how the supercharger fits into the engine compartment and I fear it may not fit with the a/c components.

Also, are there any PROS or CONS (especially CONS) one should know about when contemplating a Judson?

Here is what the engine compartment looks like with the huge York-Borg/Warner compressor. (Actually, it is all cleaned up now. And yes, I kept those "ugly" aluminum tubes!)

Look forward to seeing the pictures of the engine compartment/engine all cleaned up.

Laughing Man, nothing gets by you people!! This is the first pic of the engine compartment when it came out of the barn. It has the plug wire in place now. (And runs amazingly well Very Happy !)

The Judson will only work on 36 HP engines and 40 HP engines. The two are not interchangeable. Your 67 has a 40 horse engine?

Oops, I meant to say 65? To run the Judson I do not think that you can use the AC compressor. The Judson's drive pulley has to bolt to the crank pulley and I do not see how that is possible with the AC drive pulley there already.

This particular Judson says it's for a 40 horse engine. My '65 has the original 1200 which is a 40 horse. I dont have a schematic or an illustration to know how they are installed. I figured there probably wasnt a good chance that it would fit on this car because of the A/C (which I dont want to get rid of) but thought I'd ask for input anyway, just in case, before pursuing it further.

I just looked at info on the Judson Register (thanks for tip, Michael Wink ) and I guess it wont fit with the a/c compressor in there too. the offset carb and other components wont have any place to go. Sad It woulda been pretty cool to have a Judson on this car

Hey Sergio,
This thread started (and ended) just over 8 years ago, so you may not get a quick response, but I'm a real pessimist, so.......
How did you even find it??
