Just woundering if someone had a kit to convert a carb to blow thur for a supercharger.all i see it that you change the floats to soilds. And change the needle and seat from.110 to a .120 my supercharger will have 7psi of boost. What else needs to be change on the carb. And if it needs more. Dont they have a kit to do it yourself?. Thanks for your guys help.
 
I'm not sure which carb you're using ?
I did it years ago on a Holley 650 double pumper. I kept the stock brass floats.
I had a plate that fit beneath the carb, which allowed boost pressure to rise to the throttle shafts ( you have to drill a small hole in the carb baseplate to allow the boost to get to the shafts.)
This prevents raw fuel being pumped out the throttle shafts under boost.
Change jetting to suit the engine too.
HTH,

OK then , same carb :eek:)
I ran 6 lbs of boost on a 289, then the same supercharger on a 302, never had trouble with the stock hollow brass floats.
Keep us posted on your progress !
