This is for sale locally. This setup doesn't make any sense to me, but I've been wrong before.

I know there were manifold kits sold that were supposed to allow you to add a supercharger, but I was always skeptical. Interesting that someone did it!

Oops...sorry.

Yeah that. And apparently there is a four barrel carb under that eaton supercharger. With the extreme high-revving nature of a rotary, this seems particularly inefficient, especially with no intercooler.

As a frenchpuertoricancatholicjewfromnigerabornintheUSA, I can handle the french.

I like the V-belt running the supercharger, and where is the carb. It looks like he may have tried to make it a blow through set-up.

It could be the angle of the picture, but the pulley angle alignment looks less than stellar.

Nah....I sobered up.

Price is too high, anyways, even if it hadn't been butchered.

You guys have a good eye, I hadn't even noticed the ratchet strap battery tie-down...classy

It looks like the drive belt for the supercharger is on there for the photo only. I can't image it would stay on if the car was running.

Okay...how do you tighten the supercharger belt?

You can't. Unless you move the waterpump. Bad idea. I bet the waterpump belt slips like crazy. Good idea, poor execution.

Good translation NOHOME, but I think your first was better...

Fillage = spark plug wires
courroies = all the belts
tinck a gaz = gas tank
