Hmmm I wonder...

What do you have the one idler below the supercharger bolted to? I can't even tell from the pics.

I also didn't know that super coupe superchargers had the outlet on the top and the inlet on the back :dunno:

I guess that probably makes them more adaptable.

The idler right below the blower is on the alt top bolt and the idler below it is on the timing belt tensioner.

Well bad news I took the car out last night and it was running better than ever at 25psi if felt FAST. Today I was taking it out and saw smoke and smelled like antifreeze i checked where it was coming from and it was between my header and turbo. I picked my dipstick out while the engine running and oil started gushing out so im positive I blew a hg. I think im gonna might as well swap the engine now to the other one i have that looks to have a recent rebuild and give this old junkyard dog a rest and port my N/A head Im currently running. Also has anyone here tried the slider tc cam with ranger rolller followers did you notice a improvement ant bad outcomes? Well will keep you posted.

Don't use the RR followers with a slider cam....

Invest in head studs.

The 8991 is fine (or whatever the std Felpro turbo replacement is (8993 I think actually).  Unless you plan on triple-checking your head and block flatness for perfection, don't use the 1035.

Yea I think its the 8993 the correct number. And i will probly use it again and just coat it again with permatex copper spray.
