I just picked up a 57 ford with a 312 2/4s Holley tea pots and a paxton supercharger. I have never ran a super charger so this may sound dumb but here goes. The car will not idle at less then 2500 rpm's
2500, that's a bit much. What happens if you back off the throttle stops? I'd be maybe looking for a big Vacuum leak. The Wizzard
Have the factory brochure....doesn't say much about mechanics.....HM is still around....they tuned one up for Daytona on the sands back in 57/58......
