Blower Hardware
Blower Hardware Check List - for putting a supercharger on your
car.
This document
deals with installing a roots type supercharger on your engine/car. All prices
are in Australian Dollars. Our standard price is marked as LIST Price and racers
who carry our stickers on their vehicles are entitled
to the “Racers Decal Discount”.
We often
get asked by a client for a “supercharger kit” to put a supercharger on their
engine. Because there is no one kit due to the range of differences in engines,
superchargers, and applications. Street, drag and
boat applications often differ in hardware to accomplish the desired task. We
will discuss each here and you get to pick the hardware you want or you can call
us and we will guide you in your selection. Usually
when we are asked for a “supercharger kit” this is a client wanting to put a
blower on a street application. Street applications
are slightly different than either drag race or boat applications. Because of
the complexities of getting the blower belt into a space in front of the engine
can be a challenge getting it to clear, water pumps, alternators, power
steering and even in some situations air conditioning, Street applications are
much different than race applications and street
configurations are not desirable in a race environment. There are some
suppliers that supply a street
blower package but don’t ever think it will just bolt on your engine, if it does
with no changes, modifications or additional hardware it is a rare event
indeed. We like satisfied clients, and do not want the drama of an unhappy client. We work hard to make the client happy.
On this document we discuss the ranges of hardware and applications, to
see the specific hardware LOWE has available
for each situation please see the respective literature. After you have a chance
to have a look at this information then we can discuss
exactly what you need for your application. Often it is much easier if you can
just chat with someone about what you need and how to do what you want to do. We
are always available to speak to and will assist you in any way we can, so
please call us. My contact details are
here.
Supercharger
– often clients come to us having already purchased their
supercharger or blower. Regardless of this, if you already own a blower or not
we can discuss with you if it is the optimum for your application or even if it
is acceptable for the application. For purposes of this discussion paper we will
presume the blower or supercharger (same thing) you are going to use is either a
6-71 or all the way up to a 16-71. Blower sizes are
measured by the length of the blower rotor, which is usually,
but not always, the length of the
blower case not including the end covers.

There are
other blowers available but these are the common ones. Uncommon blowers will
require different (non standard) mounting and drive hardware and inlet systems
which often inflates the cost
of installation of those
blowers often creating a situation where it would have been less expensive,
easier and made more power with a standard blower. Most people know the original
6-71 were originally used on 6-71 Detroit Diesel
engines. This means they were 6 cylinder engines with 71 cubic inches per
cylinder or a 426 cubic inch engine. These are two stroke engines and in this
application they were only meant to start the air flow
through the engine and push out the exhaust gasses. In this application there
was little if any “boost” as it was simply a blow through design.
Although the
design was originally patented in 1860 as an air pump for blast
furnaces there have been many technical improvements in the design to
allow the design to compress air more efficiently. Stock 6-71’s off the side of
a Detroit Diesel won’t do much work and certainly require
extensive modification to allow them to be used on a street or race
engine. Many times the cost of “fixing up” a stock
6-71 exceeds the cost of
purchasing a good reconditioned race blower. It must be
noted that you cannot use a Teflon and Nylatron
stripped race blower in street use. There are a lot of considerations that must
be addressed in the decision on which blower to use, rotor design, case internal
design, intake location, exhaust location and design,
all of which we will discuss with you when you decide you want to supercharge
your engine. On the supercharger inlet the fuel
injector hat will either be an 8 top or a 10 top, if this does not match the
blower inlet we have adapters available to get the blower and injector to fit.
The mounting bolt holes on an 8 top is 13.25” front to
rear while the 10 top is 15.312” front to rear. We can supply the correct blower
for your application in both new and reconditioned. To select the correct blower
for your application make a phone call and speak to Ken at 0411-699 535 before
you purchase because if you start out with the wrong blower it just makes things
harder than they have to be and will result in a less than satisfactory result
for you.
As you read
through this document you will find some prices on hardware that we have
available to assist you. You will see the list price and the Racer Decal
Discount Price (RDD). Here we offer the racer a price incentive
to display our stickers to help us get our message to other racers. We
don’t expect you to do this with our compensation so we offer a special Racer
Decal Discount price to anyone willing to put our sticker on their
car. Your help in getting our message to new clients is appreciated and
rewarded.
Manifold
– The blower manifold connects the blower to the engine or
cylinder heads. The exhaust of a supercharger (where it bolts to the manifold)
are not always the same size. All the mounting bolt patterns
are the same but the cut of the exhaust hole can change, and obviously
the exhaust of a 14 can be bigger than the exhaust of a 6. Ordering a new blower
you get what you want, using someone else’s second hand blower
you get what they wanted. Make sure your blower exhaust will work with
your manifold.
Race manifolds are designed to
create the most power and as such will often sit a lot higher than street
manifolds and race manifolds will not have thermostat provisions like a street
manifold might.Street manifolds are usually lower than race manifolds and often will have flat
bottom or near flat bottom
plenum chambers under the blower. Using carburetors on gasoline (petrol) this is
not a problem but will be a problem on a methanol injected application as the increased idle volume
will cause puddeling which
causes very poor idle. Street manifolds are not recommend to use in a race
application. Race manifolds on the street are usually no problem except that the blower will sit a lot
higher. We have race manifolds for small block Chevy and big block Chevy and Ford Cleveland’s. Others can be
fabricated if necessary
but fabricated manifolds are very pricy due to the amount of labor that goes
into building the manifold. We can supply you with blower manifolds for small and big block Chevy with
standard cylinder heads
and Ford Cleveland engines with 2V and 4V heads.
In situations where there is no good cast manifold
available the only alternative is a fabricated manifold. Not a sheet metal
manifold but a manifold fabricated
from aluminum plate. The difference is the thickness. Sheet metal manifolds for
carburetors are usually
made from .080 (2mm) sheet and bent to shape. We fabricate our blower manifolds
from .250 (6mm) plate
and cut the shape and weld together to get the port shape. This is much more
work and we have found most
fabricated manifolds consume at least 100 hours of work or more. This is not an
inexpensive option but if
you need a manifold that suits a set of heads that there is no commercially
available cast manifold available
for then fabricating a manifold is nearly your only option. I say nearly because
in some situations we have
found it to be acceptable to use a tunnel ram manifold and modify it to suit the
blower but there has to be
a tunnel ram manifold available for that cylinder head situation. We provide
race manifold applications,
not street applications. Race applications make no compromises towards
performance that often occur
in street applications. Street manifolds usually have a lot of compromises built
in to make them more
“friendly” in a street environment. Often they install thermostat provisions and
are constructed with the blower
mounting very low on the engine almost never have port nozzle provisions. Most
street manifolds are meant
to be used in a gasoline (petrol) environment with ether carburetors or EFI. On
gasoline the volume of fuel
is less than half that of methanol and as such the environment inside the
manifold is much drier than on a
methanol situation. Many of the street manifolds have a flat floor to
accommodate the plenum size with the
low mounted blower. Race manifolds have a raised floor with a crown or a peak
in the middle to insure the
wet mixture does not puddle in the manifold.
Our no “compromise” cast manifolds list for $2150.00+ GST and
the RDD is $1995.00 AUD + GST if applicable.
Some options are burst panel kit provisions or complete installation and single
or multiple port nozzle options.
Please contact us for pricing on these options.

Blower Drive
– sometimes called a blower nose it is the housing, drive shaft,
bearings and
seal that allows a blower drive pulley to bolt to the blower. They come in
different length to
accommodate the different blower mounting positions. Some blowers are mounted
forward on
the manifold necessitating a short nose, while other blowers are mounted towards
the rear
of
the manifold necessitating a long nose. Some applications will use a long nose
in a forward
position because of the location of the bottom drive pulley being located
further forward.
This is not a recommended application as moving the blower drive pulley forward
put
excessive side load stress on the front of the crankshaft.

Blower drive pulley
- Blower drive pulleys come in various pitches (space from tooth to tooth) 1/2", 8mm, 13.9mm, 14mm. Which one is right for you?
When
blowers were first put on automotive engines in a drag racing application in the
early
1950’s there was a range of drives used, everything from chain drive to multiple
v belts.
Eventually everyone settled on the 1/2” pitch belt which worked well up until
the blowers
got bigger and bigger and required more and more power to drive them and the
1/2" pitch belts started to fail. The next step was the 8mm belt which was a huge
improvement
in design. Some experienced failure in the 8mm belts and then the 14mm belt
became an
option for those that were stressing their belts. The 13.9mm was invented to get
around the
patented 14mm Gates design. The limitations of the 13.9mm belt is that there is
only one
length of belt with that tooth configuration often requiring extensive pulley
changes to achieve
the desired results. Some applications are just not possible with the 13.9mm
drive. Improved
belt design and blower over drive limits made the 8mm belt more popular as with
the smaller
teeth it was possible to get closer to the maximum overdrive limit and the
improved belts made
the 8mm belt much stronger. Today almost all Top Door, Top Alcohol cars use the
8mm belts.
Because of the popularity of this drive configuration we only stock the 8mm
pulleys. |

Not all pulleys are manufactured the same way. Often cheap pulleys are cast, not
billet which
costs more, and as well the method of putting the “teeth” on the pulley can
vary. The cheap
method is by “hobbing” the tooth with makes the “tooth” in a single pass with a
single cutting
tool leaving a rough finish to the tooth shape and this wears the belt quicker.
The “generated”
tooth shape creates a smooth finish making the belt last much longer but the
process is slightly
more expensive. You want a billet material pulley with a generated tooth
profile. It must be noted
that cast pulleys are not legal in most forms of motorsport.As a general rule we
stock the even
tooth numbers while the odd tooth numbers can be made for you at your request.
Blower belt -
Belts must match the pulley teeth configuration and come in
different length.
We stock the 8mm belts in 150 tooth (1360 long) to 190 tooth (1680 long) but
other lengths
are available. Belt width must match the pulley width and the belt idler width.

Blower belt idler pulley
- Idler pulleys keep the belt from jumping over teeth under a load.
Idler pulley width must match the belt width. Most time the idler will be as
wide as the drive pulleys
or about 1/4" or 6mm wider than the drive belt. Idler spindle may be shortened
to locate the belt
correctly. Idler pulley bracket may be spaced as well to set the belt track on
the top and bottom pulley.

Blower belt idler pulley bracket
Idler
pulley brackets mount to the front of the engine or supercharger and keep the
blower belt tension
correct to keep the blower belt from jumping the teeth on the pulleys. Smaller
blowers or street
applications can use a blower mounted idler bracket as these applications do not
require a lot of
strength in the idler bracket.
Idler brackets available for Small Block Chevy, Big Block Chevy, Early and Late
Hemi and Wedge.
Available with or with out water ports, water ports are Dash 8 SAE O-ring thread
to allow the use of
standard race car plumbing hardware to connect to the cooling
system. They are machined to fit O-rings we
supply so there is no need to use gaskets to seal the water in. You
should consider that most idler brackets are only
12mm or 1/2" thick which makes them vulnerable
to flex under
load which will cause the belt to loosen under load and cause premature belt
failure. |

Blower drive bottom pulley hub (crankshaft hub)
The LOWE blower hubs are a little
different. First, we start with tougher steel. All of our blower hubs are made
from 4140
steel which is much
stronger than the steel most other blower hubs are made
from.
We do this to give you the best product possible. Blower hub failure will
manifest itself by either the keyway failing or the hub itself
cracking, or both. Usually, when
the blower hub keyway fails it does so because
the key starts to roll over in the key slot
because
of the load. We try to stop this first, with tougher steel, which
reduces
distortion under
load, and second a better fit on the keyway and the crankshaft nose.
 
|
Keyways
When the automobile engine manufacturer made the engine for the original application
they
never intended to take several hundred horsepower off the front of the engine.
In
some cases this is more than the factory originally intended to take off the
back of the
crankshaft. Their intention was to drive the water pump, fan, alternator, power
steering, air conditioner and such. This would consume at the most 20-30 horsepower even
in
the worst of conditions. In a race application with a supercharger, often we ask
several hundred horsepower to come off the front of the crankshaft to drive the
supercharger. We do this and ask the keyway to take the entire
load. Not a great design but it is the
one we are stuck with today. In my opinion the best design would be to get the
crankshaft manufactures to spline the ends of the crank and then supply a
broached
hub to suit. Kind of like an axle and spool situation. That would be the better
design,
but we don’t have that right here right now. So how do we make what we have
available to us, live? First the keyway and key must fit
properly. Often I see
the width
is OK but the hub is broached too deep and the key has room to start the “roll
over”
under hard load. I don’t broach our keyway that deep and want you to fit the key
to
the slot so there is a minimum of room over the key. You should wait to keyway
your
crankshaft until you have the blower hub in hand to know how deep to cut the
keyway.
Second the stronger 4140 hub will not distort as easily as the softer steels
this makes
it harder for the key to fail since it takes more energy to distort the hub in
the roll over
process. Many decades ago when blower hubs keys failed, the first, (but not the
best
answer) was to add a second keyway to double the strength. Initially adding a
second key sounds like a good idea but I want to remind you that
you are removing material
from the nose of the crankshaft and the hub. On smaller crankshaft noses like
Cleveland’s and Small Block Chevys the nose is not that big anyway and removing
material only makes them weaker. I believe you are addressing the symptom and
not
the problem. I also suggest that the double keyway process is flawed as since
putting
the two keyways in the crank and hub is not a spline process, minor machining
error
with this process makes one of the keys take most, if not all the load anyway.
We
don’t recommend the process but we do supply the service if a customer wants it.
Cleveland’s, Windsor’s, Big Block Chevy’s, Small Block Chevy’s all use a 3/16”
keyway
in the stock harmonic balancer which for the stock applications is completely
adequate.
We do not recommend the two keyway combination but we do broach a 1/4" keyway
in our hubs. To take full advantage of the larger keyway the crankshaft must
have a
1/4" keyway slot milled in it. You must fit the key stock to the hub and
crankshaft
combination is such a way as to minimize the space on the top or the bottom of
the key
stock.
A snug fit is preferred with a maximum of .005 clearances on the top of the key
stock.
The Cleveland and Windsor both use a 5/8” unf bolt as a center bolt which is
adequate.
The Big Block Chevy uses a 7/16”unf, which if you are using a crank
support
should be re-drilled and tapped to 3/4" unf. The use of harmonic balancers on supercharged
engines are not necessary as the blower belt itself acts as a harmonic balancer.
If harmonic balancers were a good idea on supercharged engines you would see
one on every Top Alcohol Dragster, Funny Car and Top Door cars and all the nitro
dragsters and funny cars as well. If you have a look NONE of them run a
“harmonic”
balancer. The problem with a “harmonic” balancer is that since they are not
meant to
take the load the supercharger puts on a drive hub they are made from lesser
grade
material than a good blower drive hub is. The next problem is that the”
harmonic”
balancer with a blower pulley on it pushes the blower pulley a couple of inches
further
away from the front main bearing giving the belt more leverage to try to lift up
the front
of the crankshaft. The closer you can keep the blower belt to the front main
bearing the
longer your crankshaft will last, that and add a crank support if you really
love your
crankshaft. Your wallet will be happier as well. |
Hone finish
Our blower hubs
are CNC turned and milled to exacting specifications. In order to create a
better
product we bore the center of the hub slightly undersize as this allows us to
hone fit the inside
diameter of the hub. We do this to get a better fit by controlling the
dimensions. Although the
CNC boring process is very accurate there are still tolerances that we feel are
not adequate
for the fit of the hub to the crankshaft. It is more work to final hone the
inside dimension for
the crank nose but by doing so we insure that there is a minimum opportunity for
the key to do
the roll over. We hone fit the hub to give a half of a thousands press fit. This
makes for a snug
fit going on the crankshaft, so installation with a hub installer not a hammer
is a requirement.
This snug fit insures the keyway has a better chance of survival driving that
big supercharger
of yours. Use antiseize lubricant to coat the surfaces between the hub and the
crank snout
(nose). We have measured several of our competitor’s blower hubs. Since they are
just
bored and not honed we find they often have a taper in the center hole of up to
nearly .002”
Due to manufacturing techniques and processes we find that the start of the hole
will be close
to size while the other end (where the key is located) will be loose. Before
installing the blower
hub, check the diameter of your crankshaft nose and insure there are
no burrs or
imperfections
that would impede the installation of the blower hub.
|
Bolt
Pattern
The bolt pattern to hold the blower pulley to the hub is a six hole pattern on a
2.8” diameter. Our standard is an even space pattern. Some blower pulleys use one hole offset slightly while
most blower pulleys have both
even space and an offset hole by “slotting” the one hole concerned. There is no
good reason to use an offset
bolt pattern in this application. How it got started goes back to the early 50’s
Chrysler engines. This engine
was one of the first engines to get a supercharger installed by hot rodders and
initially everyone just use the
factory harmonic balancers to drive the pulley. On the early Chrysler engines
the timing mark was on the
pulleys not the harmonic balancer so in a factory application when the pulleys
were installed on the harmonic
balancer the offset hole insured that the pulleys could not be installed in the
wrong place. By using the stock
harmonic balancer initially there was a lot of pulleys made with the offset
hole. Later when the stock harmonic
balancers started to fail and everyone started making hubs to replace them to
use the pulleys they had they
just offset the one hole. This carries on even today. The offset hole pulleys or
hubs are difficult to install as
locating the offset hole in the hub and the pulley at the same time is
difficult. Today most pulleys are even
spaced or dual pattern Ken Lowe decided to just have an even space pattern on
the hub. If you want an
even space pattern and the offset pattern both on your hubs please specify this
when ordering.
The LOWE
blower hub has a 1.999” spigot to align the center of the blower pulley. The
standard blower pulley has a 2.00” center hole.

The Ken
Lowe Ford 351 Cleveland Windsor blower hubs are either counterweighted or
neutral balance.
If your engine is externally balanced you must use a counterweighted hub and
that hub must be balanced to the engine combination. Failure to do so will result in an unsatisfactory
outcome. On the
standard Ford hubs the standard seal inside diameter is 1.875” this makes the
hub a little weak
since it is not very thick. This is adequate for a harmonic balancer but not a
blower hub. We have increased
this dimension to 2.00” or about 25% stronger with just this modification, add
in the 4140 steel and now you
have a hub that is almost twice as strong as “standard hub”. You do have to
replace the front seal with a seal
number CR19852 this is the same outside diameter as the stock seal but with a
larger inside diameter to
accommodate the larger diameter seal area on the Ken Lowe hub.
Use front seal part number CR19852 on Ford 351C and 351W

Ignition Timing Marks
Accurate ignition timing on a
supercharged engine is a requirement. Get it wrong and you are picking up
parts off the race track. Ignition timing accuracy is increased by increasing
the diameter of the wheel where
the timing is read. A six inch diameter wheel is significantly more accurate
than a three inch diameter wheel.
We have available a timing ring that is shrink fit to the blower hub. Since we
do not know where your TDC
is we have left the wheel blank allowing you to set your TDC and install your
timing marker then using some
marking tools mark the TDC on the timing ring. While you are doing this you are
probably doing your
camshaft degree at the same time so you have your degree wheel set up on the
engine, go ahead and
make the marks at 90-180-270 for setting the valves. Make a mark at 30 degrees
BTDC as a base line
for your ignition timing. Decide where you want the ignition timing to be and
set some marks there as well.
One more thing, if you want make it more useful and you know what your cam centerline is, and you use
the lobe center method for setting your cam location go ahead and mark there as
well. That will usually be
somewhere between 108 and 114 degrees ATDC number one.
Timing Ring
- a small diameter surface such as the blower hub itself does
not give a engine tuner
enough room(space) to accurately set the ignition timing. The Timing Ring 6 3/8”
diameter does give the
tuner enough room to accurately set the ignition timing as well it can be marked
for TDC of the other cylinders
to allow the valves to be set accurately too. The timing rings fit all of our
blower hubs.

Crank Support
When your engine was originally designed, the manufacturer
designed it to take up to
20 horsepower off the front of the crankshaft to drive the water pump, fan,
power steering and the air
conditioning and the alternator. For this power load the front of the crankshaft
does well. Now you want to
drive the supercharger from the front of the engine. The front of the
crankshaft on a supercharged engine
takes a lot of strain from the pull of the belt turning the supercharger. On
some applications it takes up to
400 horsepower to just turn the blower at full boost. The front of the
crankshaft was never designed to take
this type of load. The big block Chevy has one of the largest crankshaft noses
in drag racing but even they
still they flex. In fact it was a big block Chevy that Ken first made a crank
support for. This solved the problem
of the damage to the front main bearing but only later did Ken learn that the
crankshaft would last over twice
as long as a result. On the lower pulley the side load (belt pulling up)
on the crankshaft is massive. The belt
load is trying to lift the front of the crankshaft up and this load will cause
the crankshaft to fail prematurely at
the radii on the front of the first rod journal. On a supercharged engine it is
not if the crank will fail it is when.
A crank support will drastically extend the life of a crankshaft in your race
car. This is even when everything to going good. How bad is it for your crankshaft, if you backfire the engine for
some reason and nothing happens
except you just break the belt ask yourself what amount of energy did it take to
break this belt and how did this
energy manifest itself in the crankshaft. The belt broke because the engine kept
turning when the supercharger
stopped (or wanted to stop) because of a spike of excessive pressure in the
manifold (from the backfire).
What did it do to the front of the unsupported crankshaft? What you did not
realize is that although you do
not see the damage you probably just cracked the crankshaft on the number one
rod journal. Though it will
still run (probably) the crankshaft just had over half of its normal life
eliminated. Now what did that cost? A
KLRC crank support will usually double the life of a crankshaft making the LOWE
crank support on of the
best investments you can make. If you crankshaft costs $2000.00 (or more) and
lasts 40 runs before it cracks
beyond safe use and you can get 70 or 80 runs with a LOWE crank support then the
LOWE crank support
should be worth $2000.00.(or more) JUST THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU USE IT. We make
crank supports
for both the Big Block Chevy and the Small Block Chevy and the Small Block Ford
(351C351W and Fontana)
On the BBC/SBC LOWE crank support attaches to the lower four bolt holes in the
front of the engine block
with studs. The crank support side plates slide on the studs and the front
bearing plate goes on after the side plates. The crank spindle attaches to the centre of the crankshaft and the
bearing that rides in the front bearing
plates goes on the end of the spindle. The LOWE Race Car Hardware crank support
has adjustment built into
the design to allow for differences in crank tunnel bore but once the adjustment
is set you can disassemble and
reassemble the engine with out having to readjust the crank support. The LOWE
crank support comes anodized
with a complete set of instructions to install the kit correctly. |

Timing Covers
My
background is in Chevrolet and Chrysler engines. I accepted the commonality
of components for each manufacturer as a natural state of engineering. Once I
was asked to design
and make parts for the FORD engines I was in for a learning experience. The FORD
351 Windsor
has had many fathers, it seem like every engineer that touched the engine has
put their own personal
stamp on it and this shown more in the front timing chain covers than anywhere
else. As a designer
and machinist making product to fit the engine I have been given a challenge to
identify the different
configurations, the ones I have listed below are not all the different options
but the most popular ones. In order to supply you with the correct crank support mounting plate we need to
identify the cover that
your engine has. If you engine has cover marked “D” you will need to change
covers as this cover
does not give a clear shot for the access to the front of the cam for the fuel
pump drive. You will
please notice that there are two different oil pan front arcs available. Very
early engines have a
larger oil pan front arc than the later model engines. For your sake let’s hope
you have a later model
front cover and oil pan design. It is recommended to
use cover “B” but it will require the existing
mechanical fuel pump hole be welded shut and the edge of the mechanical fuel
pump mount
machined back off to clear the crank support front mounting plate. The EFI cover
show as “C” does
not require this but does not have the additional water port bolt hole which we
recommend to help
seal the cooling system. If this is your cover we will have to make a special
crank support mounting
plate leaving out those two holes. Modifying your
timing cover to access the fuel pump cam drive is
something you can do yourself or we can modify your cover to suit or supply a
fully modified cover
ready to bolt on. We can supply you with a modified cover with your crank
support kit as well.
One of the advantages of us supplying a prepared timing chain cover as we can
insure the four
spacers required are the correct length, not to mention you will not have to try
to love up a dirty
corroded part to put back on your fresh new clean engine.
Listed From A - D: |
A - This cover seems to fit the much earlier engines and has a much larger
diameter oil pan front arc.
If your oil pan uses this cover you will have to supply the cover for us to
modify as we cannot find this
cover to supply. Pump cover B is a direct replacement for this but does have a
smaller oil pan arc.
Cover A does have one oil pan bolt on each side; all the small arc covers have
two oil pan bolt holes
on each side. Requires 4 ea .62 spacers. |
B – Fits 289-302-351 1965-1985 Standard Water pump – mechanical
fuel pump. This is the
recommended front cover to be used. It does require the mechanical fuel pump
port be filled
and welded and the forward ear be machined off. It will require the fuel pump
cam drive port
be added to access the cam drive hex. This pump cover does have a dip stick port
on the
right side. It also has a small oil pan arc and two bolts on each side for the
oil pan rail. Requires 4ea .673 spacers |
|
C –Fits 302-351 EFI with reverse rotation water pump fits Mustang
and F Truck 1985 onwards. Does have the same engine block mount holes as B and the small oil pan arc as B
but if you are
using this cover let us know as we must omit two holes in the crank support
mounting plate front cover. Cover “C” does not have a dip stick provision.
|
D- This cover is used in the following applications, Crown Vic, Thunderbird,
Grand Marque,
Mustang 94-95, Explorer, and all Falcon engines from 1991 onwards. This cover
cannot be
used as the small water pump flange does not cover the path for the cam driven
fuel pump drive. |

Fuel injection hat assembly Many racers follow the bigger
is better line of thought.
Sometimes this is true but not always. Selecting the correct hat assembly for
your application
is one of the decisions you have to make, some of the others are….Do you want a high flow barrel valve or a standard one? How much fuel volume
will my
engine need? Do you want to run a high speed valve? Do you want to run port
nozzles?
When should you run port nozzles? Do you need a pump
sizer?How many nozzles should I run in the hat?
Why would I need more than 8? Remember your hat must fit your blower, is it a 8
top or a 10 top blower?
We have adapters available to allow you to bolt your injector to your blower
should the size be different.
We can supply just the hardware you want, a base line fuel system
or a complete flowed system
ready to bolt on and go to the starting line. Due to the range of hardware
available we have not
included this information here, if you want Fuel Injection information please
contact Ken and
we will post it out to you.

Injector
Hat Adapters Injector hats come in different sizes and blowers come in different sizes.
Forty years ago there was
one size hat and one size blower. The original blower was a 6-71 and the rotors
are 15” long and
most injectors were made to fit this blower. Even back then there were 8-71
rotors (1” longer) but
no cases that would bolt up to a race blower manifold, someone made a 1” spacer
to bolt to the
back of a 6-71 blower so 8-71 rotors could be used. It worked very well. Then
to build a better
blower someone decided to cast up the first aftermarket (non GMC) blower case to
suit the 8-71
(16” rotors) This worked even better. Now that aftermarket blower cases were
available why not
add one more inch to the case and build rotors to suit by slicing off a bit of
rotor and pressing in
longer bearing shafts. Now the 10-71 blower was born. At the time it made sense
to make the
blower inlet longer (actually this was false but it made sense at the time) to
differentiate between
the small opening called an 8 top blower and the new 10 top blower opening. Bug Catcher Injectors() all have 8 top
Bird Catcher injector () can have either a 8 top or a 10 top Buzzard Catcher injectors () will all be 10 top BAU injectors () can be either 8 top or 10 top
What do you do if you have a 10 top blower and a 8 top hat? Use the LOWE hat
adapter available in 12mm thick for just a simple adapter or use the 16mm
thick to give you the option of drilling and tapping
for your hat nozzles to place them where you want or adding more nozzles. I have
used as many as 16
nozzles in the hat to spread the fuel out over the entire length of the rotor to
keep the rotor wet and
lubricated to make more boost and prevent premature blower wear.

8 Top is 13.25” from front bolt to rear bolt 10 Top is 15.312” from front bolt to rear bolt

 Fuel injection Pump
The fuel pump must be matched
to the engines fuel delivery needs.
Since CFI is tuned based on how much fuel you return to the tank you do not want
to use a huge pump
and then ask the fuel system to return 70% of the fuel to the tank. Bigger isn’t
better and too small is a
recipe for disaster. The wrong pump can easily turn all your new parts to
rubbish. We can advise you
on the correct size pump for your application. Please do not
hesitate to contact us Here

Fuel Injection Pump
Inlet fittings
Most clients in supercharged applications use a 1 1/4”
nipple and hose arraignment. This insures an adequate supply of fuel to the pump
and the 1 1/4" hose
is relatively inexpensive so it can be changed at frequent intervals. This size
is used as it is easy to find
molded hose (radiator hose) this size and it is available at any auto supply
store. We stock a range of
these fittings both with and without side return ports.

 Fuel injection pump drive
Almost all supercharged fuel systems use a
camshaft driven fuel
pump although it is possible to use a belt drive fuel pump. Usually belt drives
are only used where
either no cam drive is available or the clientwants to retain a stock type
water pump. Front covers
and cam drives are available for small and big block Chevys and Ford 351’s but
the cranks support
front mounting plate also provides the place to mount the fuel pump and drive it
off the camshaft as well.
Also available is a mounting plate to be used with a JESEL belt drive to drive
the fuel pump.

Small Block Chevy Roller Cam bearing kit
Flat tappet cam have the lobes ground to keep the lifters
rotating in their lifter bore this taper on the
lobe naturally causes the camshaft to be pulled backwards in the block
keeping the pressure on the
front timing gear and locating the camshaft. Roller cams do NOT have this
feature. The lobes on roller
cams are ground square to the centerline of the camshaft and with out some kind
of device to hold the
cam back in the block the camshaft will float forwards and backwards. This can
cause erratic timing if
you are still driving the distributor or magneto off the stock location on the
camshaft and this floating
action can actually cause fuel pump damage if the pump is mounted on the timing
cover directly.

Belt
drive hardware is
usually used on non supercharged applications hence they are drilled for the
smaller
three bolt pumps. They can be used on some supercharged applications but it is
not recommended for a big
pump drive. |
Belt Drive Kit – Fuel Pump
The belt drive kits are usually used in non supercharged applications and as
such are drilled for mounting the
smaller three bolt pumps such as the 80A or the 150 series pumps. If you are
using them for supercharged
applications then they may be redrilled for the larger four bolt pumps used my
most supercharged applications.
The drive ratios provided with the pulleys supplied turn the pump at camshaft
speed. Larger or smaller pulleys
can be installed to increase or decrease pump speed (and size) to suit your
particular application. If you want
10% more (or less) volume change the ratios accordingly.

Chevy (SBC-BBC) and FORD Windsor Fontana
At LOWE Race Car Hardware we build our hardware to exacting
standards. This insures that you the client gets
the best possible quality, what this means is that – “Our stuff fits, and our
stuff works ”Since a lot of our hardware
has to integrate with other manufacturers hardware such as the JESEL Fuel Pump
Drive we have no control over
the hardware other manufactures produce. Most manufacturers produce a quality
product but since all this
hardware has to fit together from time to time manufacturers change the design
of their products without
consideration of how their product interacts with other products, when that
happens often it will not fit with other
existing hardware.
If such a situation should occur where our product no longer fits where it is
designed to go all you have to do is
to call us here and we will make every attempt to rectify the situation.
It is HIGHLY recommended to use a fuel pump extension with the LOWE JESEL fuel
pump drive as this will insure
the pump mounting flange will be concentric with the fuel pump and have minimum
run out on the pump drive. The
LOWE JESEL fuel pump drive is made to exacting standards but it has to bolt to
another product which in turn
bolts to a production engine block. The tolerances of different manufactures can
create a challenge to keep
everything in perfect alignment. The relationship of the cover bolt holes with
the cam center could cause some
slight misalignment on the pump drive. In fact we have never actually found this
to be true but the possibility is
there and to insure the fuel pump runs in a true and concentric environment if
you use a high quality fuel pump
extension then you will insure this. On normally aspirated engines a short 2.5”
extension will do and have the
added advantage of moving the pump forward to clear both the harmonic balancer
as well as a MSD crank
trigger ring if one is installed. On supercharged engines a 5” extension will
move the pump far enough forward to
get it to clear the blower drive belt. On a small block Chevy engine the cam to
crank distance will necessitate the
use of a notched face pump extension. We stock both the 2.5” notched face and
the 5” notched face extensions.
To install the LOWE JESEL fuel pump drive remove the left hand
threaded bolt in the center of the JESEL cam
drive and remove the JESEL flange washer that holds the pulley to the hub.
Install the LOWE cam adapter with
the ½’ steel drive pins locating in the three bolt holes for the cam drive hub
and secure with the original JESEL
left hand threaded center bolt. Then insure the three ½” steel drive pins are
below the face surface of the cam
adapter and install the female hex pump drive with the three 5/16”unc socket
head cap screws provided.
Install the pump bracket over the top of the fuel pump hex drive and locate with
the stands and bolts provided.
Shim or trim the stands to insure the fuel pump hex drive is .100 to .110 below
the surface of the pump mount.
If you are using a fuel pump extension this dimension is not critical or
important as long as the fuel pump driveshaftis of adequate length.

Fuel Pump Extensions Fuel pump extensions are not
a complicated piece of hardware. Their job is to
simply move the pump forward to clear the blower belt on some applications or
the harmonic balancer in other
situations. Or that is where they start, in the design and application process.
More considerations come into
play once the product is placed in use. In some applications, like non
supercharged engines with small fuel pumps, it probably doest make any difference how strong the pump extension is
because almost any design
will work as long as it meet the rest of the design criteria. Such as, does it
have a notch to clear the harmonic
balancer and does it prevent oil from leaking between the pump and the end of
the extension. Not all pump
extensions will do that. In supercharged applications more considerations must
be met in the design criteria
of the product. Supercharged engines use larger, heavier fuel pumps, and often
fuel pump magneto drives. Now the fuel pump extension must carry the larger fuel pump, the offset magneto
drive and the magneto.
Now all that stuff is getting heavy and you are hanging it out on the end of a
flimsy fuel pump extension.
How long will that last? Add to this some bad tire shake and you have a fuel
pump extension housing failure.
Since the magneto is driven through the fuel pump extension, should it fail at
an incontinent time it could misfire
and cause a blower explosion.
There are three basic different designs for fuel pump extensions.
*Three piece billet design
*One piece cast design
*One piece billet design.
Three piece billet design
The three piece billet design was created to produce a product that can be
manufactured with the least amount
of material and work thus reducing the cost of the product. The problem is that
this design uses ¼” bolts or
smaller in a very small bolt pattern around the tube of the extension to bolt
the end pancakes to. This small bolt
circle has a limited strength since the top and bottom bolts are usually only
about 1 1/4 inch apart. If you hang a
big fuel pump, magneto offset drive and a magneto out on the end of a long
extension and have some tire shake
how long will it take to have a failure here? Remember they are threaded into
the aluminum pancakes that form
the fuel pump extension flanges which are usually only about 3/8” thick.
One piece cast design
One piece cast design is not very robust and must be much heavier. In today’s
racing some racers are using
more and more overdrive which means larger and larger bottom pulleys and in this
situation getting the clearance
between the bottom pulley and the fuel pump extension can be a problem.
One piece billet
design
Although this design is the most expensive because it requires a lot of
machining to remove the material to
create the product. Material that costs to purchase initially and then has to be
removed to create the product.
This design is by far the strongest design. The one piece billet design starts
with a solid bar of aluminum and
machines off the material that is not needed. A strong and robust design creates
a product that the racer will
never have a problem with. Although more expensive to manufacture than other
designs this is the product that
racers use when they do not want failures.
Design features used
in a quality product
A design consideration that is often overlooked by the designer and
manufacturers of fuel pump extensions is to
insure the engine oil from the front timing cover or gear drive does not leak
out. Some do not use a bearing to
support the driveshaft and even some of those who do rely on the bearing to hold
the oil inside the engine.
Unfortunately the oil will seep past the bearing and the shaft or the housing
and will leak out. The LOWE
Industries fuel pump extension uses both a bearing (with seals to protect the
bearing) and a separate seal on
the fuel pump driveshaft to seal the oil inside the engine. Most fuel pump
extensions do not take this into
consideration and racers find that they must put some type of sealer between the
fuel pump and the extension to
keep the oil from dripping out. There are two problems with this. First is only
covering up a design flaw of the fuel
pump extension and second if the fuel pump seal should fail in insures that it
will not leak onto the ground. There
are two problems with this. As a racer you want know
if you fuel pump is leaking as the seal because this means
that fuel intended for the engine is not getting there which means a lean
condition and also that the fuel instead of
leaking onto the ground is now going into the engine and diluting the engine
oil, something else you do NOT want.
Bolt pattern
There are two different bolt patterns on fuel pumps. Most small pumps have the
asymmetrical three bolt pattern
while all large pumps have the standard four bolt pattern. This pattern is four
1/4" holes on a 2.75” bolt circle.
Our fuel pump extensions are drilled for mounting to the engine with the four
holes for three reasons. First four
bolts are stronger than three, and the four bolts are symmetrical. Finally the
square pattern is more mounting
friendly. Where the fuel pump mounts most of our fuel pump extensions have dual
pattern. One pattern is the
standard symmetrical four hole pattern for the big pumps and the other is the
asymmetrical pattern for the small
pumps. Most pumps made today have a separate mounting flange that allows the
pump to rotate to position the
pump where you want it but the older pumps do not have that. We have positioned
the three hole asymmetrical
pattern to point the pump outlet at the 2o’clock position (as you look at the
front of the engine) as this points the
pump outlet towards the barrel valve on a supercharged engine. Caution as the
lower pump mounting bolt length
may be critical as on some applications it may pass through and hit either the
crank trigger ring or blower pulley.
Driveshaft length
Since our fuel pump extension may be used with other vendors hardware it is
important to verify the driveshaft
length when installing the fuel pump extension. We will provide you with a
driveshaft long enough for most
applications and in some applications it may be too long so you may have to
remove a little off the end. If it is
too short (very rare) let us know and we can supply you with a driveshaft made
to the length desired.
Advantages of LOWE Industries fuel pump extensions
*One piece billet makes it the strongest possible design and insures no
leaks between bolt together joints.
* Bearing supported drive shaft insures the fuel pump drive will not be
subjected to undue stress.
* Inner seal keep the oil inside the engine and any leaking fuel outside
the engine.
Now that the
design parameters are out of the way lets discuss application.
The 2.5” extension is usually meant for use on non supercharged engines to get
the pump out past the harmonic
balancer and in some cases past the crank trigger ring. It can be used in some
situations where there is limited
clearance in the front of the engine and the bottom blower pulley is not so
large as to get in the way and it allows
the pump to sit back slightly inside the blower belt saving room in front of the
engine. The 5”
extension is the usual extension for most normal applications. Our billet
extension is strong enough we
have even had customers cut the bottom out of it so they could run a very big
bottom pulley so that the blower
pulley just barely cleared the fuel pump driveshaft. Now that is a big pulley.
Small block Chevy’s usually use the notched extensions. This is because of the
distance between the crank
centerline and the cam centerline on this engine. The notch is used to clear the
harmonic balancer on a normally
asteriated engine (with a 2.5” extension) or the notch is used to clear the
blower pulley on a supercharged engine.
Not all supercharged engines use a blower pulley large enough to require a
notched extension but some do and
if you are ever going step up your combination you may need the clearance.
Big block Chevys, Small block Fords and Chrysler Hemi’s do not need a notched
extension. So far this has been
a lot of information about a product that is really quite simple but knowledge
is power and we want to give all our
customers as much power as possible.

Fuel Shut Off Valve
All sanctioning bodies require
that constant flow fuel systems be fitted with a fuel
shut off valve. Our three way valve insures the fuel is shut off with out
pressure spiking the pump. We make an
over center spring kit for these fuel shut off valves to insure the valve stays
in the position it is put in. Some
situations the valve can work open while during a race causing the engine to
lean out with devastating results.
 
Fuel Shut Off Valves come in several different sizes.
Over center spring kits -
Enderle

Fuel tank
- For a more Tank Hardware go

Size and location are part of deciding what you need. Is this a
sedan application where you want
to keep the big tank in the rear or a front engine dragster or an altered. Each
has different
applications.
Constructing a tank that will perform to your needs you must consider a lot of
different design considerations.
How many returns do you need? What size feed line do I need ? Where do I get the
hardware to build the tank?
We can answer all your tank questions and provide you with the hardware to build
your tank with. Because of the
range of options it is not feasible to discuss them here but we are very happy
to assist you with the correct design
of your fuel tank. Most fuel
tanks for constant flow fuel injection need several ports to return the fuel
back to the tank. There is
usually a minimum of two ports required. As a racer you have several options.
One you can weld on two separate
bungs but for a tidy appearance you must be sure to keep them in line.
Installing the minimum quantity will allow you to provide for your needs, today. Many times later there is a desire to add
an extra port or two for more
returns as your fuel system gets a little more complicated.
If you install the
minimum number required then you
have no expansion room without removing the tank and adding more ports. If you
add at least one more port than
is necessary today and just plug it up until it is needed. We have made several
different size billet weld bung
blocks. We make both three and four hole and both dash 6 and dash 8 sizes plus
blank threaded ones that allow
you to drill and tap the sizes you want. For appearance sake we make both the
profiled and the straight side billet weld bung blocks to suit any customers’ needs.
Prices
shown are racer decal discount prices. Wholesale volume purchases get a 15%
discount if you purchase
any three of the billet weld bung blocks on one order. A lot of
race car fuel tanks use the 1 ¼” supply hose. This size is used because it has
flows that are adequate for
everything up to Top Fuel and at 1 ¼” common radiator hose which is methanol
compatible is inexpensive and
readily available. Below is a weld nipple for your fuel tank that has an anti cavitation plate made into the top of
the nipple. When this nipple is used in the tank it provides a certain amount
of protection to prevent cavitation
from when the pump draws the fuel from the tank it can also create a low
pressure area in the fuel that can vortex into a path for the pump to draw air.

Remote starter options
using the top pulley of the blower to drive the starter from is very popular
in all the professional categories as it insures adequate
cranking speed to fire the magnetos and start the engine.
Usually these starters use 24-36 volts to get the crank speed necessary. It is
not necessary to use this method
to start your supercharged engine but you must have a good starter that can spin
the engine quick enough for
starting crankshaft speed.

Water pumps
since most blown systems use a cam drive fuel pump this means
the use of the stock water
pump is not an option. These days this is no problem since there are many inline
electric powered water pumps
available. The LOWE inline water pump is shown in the adjacent photo. Not
recommended for street
applications, drag race only.

Can I run CFI (constant flow injection) on the street?
I get this question at least once every two weeks. In plain and simple terms,
yes, you can but you had better have
a lot of patience. Forty four years ago when I was nineteen years old I
did drive my 55 Chevy around the block
with a set of stack Hilborns’ on gasoline. I was pretty happy sneaking a quick
ride on the street with my race car.
The fact is I did not have to negotiate traffic, drive up and down hills all day
and spend any time sitting at traffic lights. Some years later
a friend of mine sold his racecar and built a street
rod after successfully racing his car
for many years. He had a very good understanding of how constant flow fuel
injection works and felt using the Hilborn on the street would be no problem as he had often driven his race car
around the pits with no problems.
What happened was, that after a couple of weeks he took the fuel injection off
(I bought it from him) and put a
carburetor on. When I asked him why he did this he said using the constant flow
fuel injection on the street was
just too much trouble. The problems are compounded by the use of gasoline since
spark plug fouling will occur
if the fuel mixture is too rich. Once the plugs become fouled they must be
removed and cleaned or replaced.
If methanol is used you don’t have that problem but you will find the additional
fuel volume (2.2 times more) for
methanol can cause fuel dilution of the oil at idle or create a situation where
you have to have someone follow
you with a drum of methanol, since you cant purchase it at the petrol station.
Most of the time the idea of using
constant flow fuel injection on the street is for the visual effect of race
hardware on street driven vehicles. Today,
we are lucky as you can use the manifolding for the visual aspect but use
electronic fuel injection for the fuel
management environment. Currently at LOWE Fuel Injection we only do race fuel
injection and do not supply
EFI hardware but there are a lot of EFI suppliers who can supply you with the
EFI hardware to supply fuel to your
engine. Get the EFI hardware package and adapt it to the race hardware for the
race look and have an engine
that starts easily, runs clean, gets great fuel mileage and even runs good. In
closing, yes you can use the constant
flow fuel injection on the street, but I have a phrase I like “Just because you
can doesn’t mean you should”.

I gnition requirements
In a street application
running on petrol or gasoline a MSD 6 or 7 battery ignition
will perform adequately and provide you with the rev limiter options that we
recommend with even the MSD7
having an ignition retard feature which would be beneficial in this application.
In a methanol race application
some who wish to stay with battery ignition choose to go to the MSD 8 or 10
although most go with a magneto
to fire the heavy wet methanol mixture. Supermags have been around for a long
time and are very good but the
Supermag II and III do not have permanent magnets and must be recharged while
the Sueprmag IV, V and VI all
have permanent magnets and do not have to be recharged. The MSD 12 and 44 are
both very good mags for
this application with built in rev limiters. The Supermages do not have
revlimiters built in. Autometer makes a
revlimiter that works on a Supermag II and III but not the IV thru VI. We do not
recommend a Vertex mag except for possible nostalgia applications.

Mag Drive Options
If you decide you are going to use a magneto you have several options to drive
the magneto. On a Chevy, it
dosen't take a big supercharger to fill up the top of the engine and even
If you are using a small
supercharger on
a small block Chevy
or a big block Chevy then you may have to drive the magneto
with an offset drive as shown in
the photo on the right. Often though offset mag drives can still have clearance
problems in the rear of the engine if
they interfere with the firewall. In a Ford application the problem is worse as
where the factory distributor is
located will be directly under the blower providing no room what so ever for a
big mag. There are 90 degree
drives available for stock factory FORD distributors but they must be custom
made to suit. We have
solved these problems in another way.
We also make a FPMD (Fuel Pump Magneto Drive) which mounts on the front of the
engine where the fuel pump
drives off the camshaft. The fuel pump bolts to the front of the FPMD and the
mag goes in the offset housing. Our
FPMD comes with a drive that will take all Supermag II, III, IV, V, VI mags and
all MSD mags as it has a two pin
drive, a four pin drive and a Dunn drive all built into one drive. No adapters
are necessary. The benefit of the
FPMD is that it will fit any type of engine since it drives from the fuel pump
mount. Remember if you move the
mag to a location other than stock you still have to make a drive that goes
where the distributor was to drive the
oil pump except if you have installed a belt drive dry sump pump. Also remember
if you are using a roller cam you
MUST use a bronze gear on the drive.

FPMD (Fuel Pump Magneto Drive)
4.8” offset (center to center)
We have
been manufacturing offset mag drives for over twenty years and have created
several different designs
for different applications. Since the blowers have gotten larger and larger,
room for the magneto in the
conventional location on top of the engine has vanished. All fuel injected race
engines have a mechanical fuel
pump drive off the camshaft and this provides an excellent power source to drive
a magneto as well. Just unbolt
your fuel pump and bolt the LOWE FPMD on to your engine or fuel pump extension
and then bolt your fuel pump
back on to the front of the FPMD. Now install your magneto (SuperMag 1 through
6 or MSD magneto) on to the
FPMD mag drive housing using your standard lock clamp. Set your timing and you
are done.
In standard
locations the bottom of the magneto (or distributor) drives the oil pump as well
and if you drive the
magneto from another power source you must still install a oil pump drive. We
have these available as well.
Features of the LOWE 4.8” FPMD.
Reliable belt drive to the magneto
Triple option for magneto drive with no changes, two pin, four pin
or Dunn drive all in one.
4140 fuel pump drive shaft – strong enough to drive the fuel pump and magneto
Dual pattern on mounting flange
Trimmed bottom case to allow offset drive to be moved closer to engine and clear
most blower pulleys
Keyway shafts and hubs.
Seal in the fuel pump drive shaft to keep oil out of belt housing – not just a
sealed bearing.
Support mounting holes provided in housing
Anodized housing for appearance and durability
Predrilled and tapped fuel pump mount flange
Full sealed ball bearing design for long life.
Separate oil seal
to prevent engine oil from entering the inside of the belt case – not just a
sealed bearing which will leak oil around the outside.
Belt tension never needs adjustment.
Fully
enclosed belt drive housing to prevent damage to belt.
Easy to disassemble to inspect
All stainless fasteners
Cable tach drive option
The 4.8 offset drive has a totally enclosed belt to protect the belt We allowed
the mag drive shaft to be flush with
the back of the housing so it can be observed if the mag drive is turning while
the engine is cranking to start. This
was provided to allow the turner to trouble shoot problems more easily. Out unique
drive hub insures that your mag drive will fit your mag. Our universal hub has
both a two pin and a four
pin drive provisions as well as the Dunn drive cross. Slide you mag on and
tighten the clamp. In
supercharged applications if you mount the FPMD directly to the front of the
engine with out using a fuel pump
extension the FPMD must sit at the 12 o’clock (or straight up) position. Some
conflict with the idler pulley can be
a concern. Mounting it this way does limit the diameter of the bottom pulley but
it will move the fuel pump back as
far as possible which in some
cases can be a big benefit as fuel tanks and other
chassis hardware may conflict.
Moving the FPMD out to the end of a fuel pump extension allows the FPMD to be
installed at any angle desired
as the FPMD will sit in front of the blower drive belt. This also removes any
conflict with the blower belt idler pulley. Fuel pump extensions for this application must be robust as it must hold the
weight of both the fuel pump and the
magneto. The LOWE fuel pump extensions come in two lengths 2 ½” and 5” and also
have the option of a notched
flange to accommodate applications such as small block Chevys that have a very
close crank to cam center line.
The fuel pump extension is notched to clear both a harmonic balancer or larger
blower pulleys and timing rings.
The LOWE fuel pump extensions are CNC machined from one piece billet aluminum
and have a bearing
supported drive shaft with a seal on the drive hub to keep oil inside the engine
and not let it drip out at the end of
the pump extension. The
mounting for the offset mag drive to the pump extension or engine is with the
standard symmetrical four bolt
patter of 1/4" bolts on 2.75” bolt circle. We provide two sets of mounting holes
for two reasons. It offers the
customer more options for mounting.
Our offset
mag drive housing has been clearance milled housing to give more room in tight
positions and
clearance milled to allow larger blower pulleys in certain cases.
The LOWE
FPMD has two extra 1/4" holes on the top which can be used for either attaching
a support bracket
to make the mounting more robust or provisions to zip tie the plug wires to go
inside the blower belt.
All the
components are fully cnc machined to exacting standards for the ultimate in fit
and finish. The complete housing is anodized to protect the aluminum as well as improve the
appearance.
The fuel
pump mounting face is drilled and tapped for a standard symmetrical four bolt
pump mounting on a
2.75” bolt circle. This will accommodate all Enderle 110, 990, 1100, 1200 pumps
and Hilborn 175 series pumps
and all Waterman Big Bertha pumps. We did not provide a three hole asymmetrical
bolt pattern like the small
pumps as doing so would require us to increase the material on the bottom of the
housing where we have
removed it for clearance and vary rarely does anyone use the small pumps in a
supercharged application.
If you want
to use the FPMD in the original distributor location for Chevy applications we
provide a drive that
doubles as both the oil pump drive as well as a FPMD drive.
The
standard LOWE FPMD has an offset of 4.8” from center to center. In quantities of
10 or more we can make
any of the following length offsets. Sixty to ninety day lead time from receipt
of deposit. 50% deposit required
with order.

Blower Restraints
The compressed air and fuel in the manifold can create a nasty
explosion should it
find a spark. This can happen if the magneto is not set correctly or it moves or
for some reason the intake valve
does not seal when it closes. When the spark gets to the compressed air and
fuel the blower has a tendancy to
jump off the manifold and the blower restraints limits the travel the blower
has. Usually it only jumps up an inch or
so, with the blower traveling to the length of the blower restraints, releaving
all the pressure and sits right back
down on the manifold. This is providing the blower is secured with the proper
aluminum studs which if prepaired
correctly will snap off under an explosive load. Using steel bolts here is a
recipe for disaster. You will have a
broken blower, manifold or both, if you backfire the engine with steel fastners.
All 6-71 blowers have the inlet
cross bar to strengthen the blower case in the same location. Others will have
the cross bar in different locations
based on how long the inlet opening is. Some will locate this bar slightly
forward others will locate it slightly
backwards. We provide a blower restraints with a blank centers that can be cut
to suit your application.

Blower mounting studs
– do not use steel bolts to hold your blower to
the manifold. Use the aluminum
studs, use plenty of antiseize to lube the threads and torque to 120 inch
pounds. We recommend drilling the
center of the studs up from the bottom (course thread end) just past the point
where the threaded part meets
the unthreaded part) to 3/16” to allow them to snap off is the engine is
backfired. This saves the blower and the
manifold. Set of replacement studs are still cheaper than a new burst panel.
Good idea to keep a spare set in the
trailer as well.

Burst Panels
– these are a good idea as they can save a lot of money should something go
wrong.
Unless specified by sanctioning body regulations they are not necessary if you
have the correct blower mounting
hardware, not necessary but a good idea. Most race manifolds have provisions for
burst panels while no street
manifolds do. The height of the burst panel requires a moderately large plenum
under the blower and street
manifolds plenum is not that tall.
Blower Burst Panel
Kits.
Complete kit
includes burst panel, clamp ring, support ring with set screw, weld ring and
complete set clamp bolts.
Some manufacturers use countersunk flat head socket head cap screws but we have
found that when the burst
panel releases because of a backfire the stress causes the clamp ring bolts to
tighten. The very small hex socket
opening on the flat head fasteners make it almost impossible to install and
remove the flat head screws. Because
they are flat head you cannot grab the outside of the screw for additional
assistance in removing the bolts. This
often makes what should be a very simple job very a very difficult job. We
decided this was the wrong screw for
the application and designed ours with standard socket head cap screws which
have a much larger and more
robust tool to remove the fastener and if they need assistance you can grasp the
outside of the fastener with a
vice grip if necessary.

Burst panel inner support plate is important at it stops the pulsations of the
air coming out of the supercharger to
cause the burst panel to cause the premature failure of the burst panel. The
load screw, when set correctly,
applies a bit of pressure to the center of the burst panel to prevent the
pulsations from allowing the “oil can”
effect to cause the premature failure of the burst panel.

Spark Plugs Depending upon the application – street and petrol or race and methanol will
determine what
spark plug you will need. We can assist you with not only the correct plug
selection, but the correct ignition timing
and a flowed fuel system that you can bolt on and take to the starting line.
Spark Plug Wires Supercharged engines have a lot of cylinder
pressure because off the additional air
and fuel in the cylinder (that is how it makes more power) this increased
cylinder pressure requires more spark
to light the fire which means more ignition power. The additional electrical
“pressure” can cause weak or
inadequate ignition leads to “leak” (arc jump) or just plain fail. We don’t sell
ignition leads but can strongly
recommend Queensland Ignition Leads product. We have been using them for over 10
years on all of our
race cars and most of our clients race cars that we do fuel systems for. There
may be other good manufacturers
around but from our experience none exceed what Queensland Ignition Leads can
provide. For high quality
ignition leads call them direct at 07-3886 5700
