73 turbo Corvette I just finished

[DRAG-ULA]

Did a wetsand and wheel on the paint. Had a ton of dirt in it. It has an old single turbo kit on it from the late 70's, kinda cool. I don't know how well it works, there's no wastegate. It's a small turbo though, the owner said it makes 10 lbs. I want the vintage boost gauge for my Coronet!!
This guy has had it since 1976, he put the turbo kit on back then.

That's cool, I've never seen something like that.

How much did he give John Holmes for that car?

 

[TWISTED]

Thats cool. Kinda looks like the clear plastic tubing goes to the head of a integral wastegate maybe? In the last pic looks like you can see the diaphram

The owner just picked it up today. He was extremely happy. Here's a couple shots in the sun. The basecoat has some pearl added, it really pops. Couldn't get it in the pics tho.

The clear tubing is part of a meth injection kit. I should've asked him about it. I even crawled under the car looking for one, didn't see it. He said it makes 10 lbs, its a small turbo. Maybe that's all its capable of?

Looks great. :rockon: any idea how much power a turbo like that added back in the day? No intercooler or anything. Probably is not fun to tune either.
