I have an original Paxton gauge set to install on 1933. It has a fuel pressure and a boost/vacuum gauge. I have no hoses or tubing with it. I'm hunting any info I can find on connection points and hose/tubing(with fittings) suppliers. Has anyone been down this road?
Thank you in advance!

As you can guess, rear disc brakes are in order for my client's 67 GT 350. He is keeping the 14" wheels. Can anyone recommend a kit that will work with these replica magstar wheels? I am only interested in a bolt on kit, so it can have the original parts reinstalled in the future, if desired. I have identified some kits out there that are compatible with 14" wheels, but I wanted to be sure there isn't something I am unaware of for this car...and these wheels. Thanks in advance!

New to the club and wrenching on a Shelby. Where is the best place to find all the power steering hoses for a 67 GT 350? Or, would be better off finding a company I can send mine to and have them make new ones? I am about to rebuild the cylinder and the hoses are 53 years old and tired.
Thanks in advance!

I have in my shop, a 66GT 350 with a first owner installed Paxton supercharger. I have no experience with a supercharger on a non-fuel infected engine. This setup has functioned correctly for years(I am told). When warm, the engine idles at 1,800 RPM. That is with he idle screw backed all the way out. There is no choke on the carburetor. It is a 650 Holley DP.

My first thought is a vacuum leak or idle mixture is too lean. It runs and pulls strong throughout all RPM ranges and in all four gears. Unless I am mistaken, it shouldn't matter if air is being pushed or pulled through the carburetor. But I doubt there is much if any boost at idle.

Anyone had any experience with these setups?
Am I totally flawed in my thinking?
Any suggestions?
