Re: McCulloch VS57 on a 359 Straight Eight

I am very interested in your project. I, too, bought a McCulloch supercharger for my 1938 straight eight. It came with a spring-loaded belt tightener that pushes outward to tighten. I need to decide if I need the belt tightener. Photos on the internet of Packards show no tightener. I also need to drive an air conditioning compressor. I will mock this up, but right away I can tell that there is little room for a second belt. The fan is very close to the radiator.
