    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 53961558266cd.image.jpg

    any pics of motor?
     
  3. 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.
