I have an original Paxton gauge set to install on 1933. It has a fuel pressure and a boost/vacuum gauge. I have no hoses or tubing with it. I'm hunting any info I can find on connection points and hose/tubing(with fittings) suppliers. Has anyone been down this road?
Thank you in advance!

With out the Paxton all your going read is Vacuum.

Is the paxton all set up on your engine, and running?
New set or older original set up?
Is this the first futuristic exotic in the world?
Size of an ac cobra, but built in 1935 !

This car has the original Paxton supercharger on it. It is my understanding the original owner had it installed around purchase time. It is date coded, I believe, in late 66

Also, yes it is on the car and running. Although I do have another carburetor to go on it as this one has an issue with the throttle shaft.

Call Craig Conley at Paradise Wheels in California. If anyone can help it will be him. He rebuilt the supercharger on 1933 and is an expert on all things Paxton. Jim
