    Kinda looks like the bolt pattern and flange shape of a set of dcoe Webers.

    But the shape seems a bit off.

    Maybe the 32mm versions that were used on the Lancia Fulvia?

    And the blower was meant to bolt to the intake and replace the two carbs?

    They had a 1300cc engine ( and a 1600 high performance version ) so that would be about right for the Judson size.

    Just a guess...

    It's been over 50 years since I had it, but I had one I installed on my Bugeye Sprite, so my memory of what it looked like is a little foggy. I remember it had a Falcon carburetor with a clear plastic bowl though. The one you found looks a little long to be that one, but the picture could be deceiving.

    I think Judson was out of the Philadelphia area and primarily made superchargers for small foriegn motors like VW, MG, Austin Healey, etc.

    Found what looks like yours on the internet. Go down on this page to the one that says MGA. Intake port configuration looks the same as yours. (4th and 5th ones down)

    I would say that is a good call on the Alfa or something along those lines, MG's were all 2 port siamesed intakes.

    The Lancia would have been a v4 at that time, I thought.

    Judsons were made in England for small English and European cars in the fifties and sixties. Probably the most common models would be for VW and MG. But they made many others.

    The oiler was a good idea to lubricate the vanes and prevent wear.

    Yep, it was a V4.

    But the carbs were one side of the engine.

    I dont know...

    It looks kinda tight in that engine bay for a blower.

    Even with the carbs removed.

    It was just a guess... ;)
