Description: Ever since installing the Weiand 144 supercharger onto our 1978 Pontiac Firebird project car, it has had quite a lot of “rattle” when the engine is idling. Research shows that some amount is common and not a concern, but it seems like there is too much, and the loose fit between the input shaft and the coupler does not inspire confidence. So, we bought new ones that fit much (much!) tighter and we will go on a little adventure getting those parts installed. Or trying to install them. Not everything goes as planned but, as usual, we figure out a way to work things out! We also install a blower case breather to try to prevent oil leakage and some other issues that we notice when taking the blower back apart. Some of which were pretty concerning!
