    Maybe Pat's prepping that for Barb?

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I'm new here and happened across this site by doing a Google for Latham Superchargers. Anyways, site looks very neat and just thought I'd add a note about this subject. I have one of these superchargers. I bought it from Richard Paul a few years ago (he's the guy that bought the original design and started building these units with modern CNC tooling). The one I have is a dual inlet design that uses Weber carbs. It was originally packaged and marketed as an under hood kit for the "New for '82" Camaro. It was used on his show car to promote the application. They are a very neat item that would work MUCH better with EFI. I had it installed on a Monte SS that I have and it worked pretty darned good. Funny thing...people like stock Monte SSs' now. Anyways, the unit I have will be used on a mock up engine for my shop. It's just too darned cool and people love to look at it. I'll send some pics to whoever wants to see the full set-up.

    I have to admit that I have never seen one, but I've always been fascinated by the concept. To me they just seemed to be more civilized than the big Rootes-type huffers.

    Also, they looked to me like a machinist's nightmare.

    I'm not looking to buy one, but does anybody know whether any of them are still around?

    I think I'll go upstairs and dig through the big pile of crap I call "my Files". Maybe I can find a picture of one.
