1940 Ford Coupe Walt Dupont,s 1940 Ford with a later McCulloch Supercharger. To quote Walt “40 ford with a full race flathead. Put 10k miles on in 2 summers. No trouble installing the blower. The only trouble I've had is a pinging problem. My engine has a lot of mods made to it. I have too much compression, almost 9 to 1 I have to run the best gas at the pumps, and that is expensive nowadays. And I had to recurve my dist. to give a total of about 18degrees advance. I would recommend a ratio of about 7 to 1 with a blower. But it's the greatest thing since the round wheel for a flathead. It's like opening your hood and tossing in 50 hp. And it really smoothes out a rough cam”.

Re: Walt Dupont
Hell, Walt looks like he's only about 50 in that picture, and it looks like he's spring-loaded-waitin' to whoop somebody's ass from his stance and the look on his face! You go, Walt! DD
