alsancle Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi,A friend asked me about this blower. I thought it was early because of the 2 bolt intake. I was under the impression that the later Hollywood blowers were 3 bolt. I do not recall seeing the "Graham" script before. Was this on all the blowers?thanks, A.J.

Graham Man Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Graham built more supercharged cars than any other car company (I believe that might still be true). Lots of Supercharged sixes in the late 30's normaly 2 or 3 on ebay. Most have the "Graham Supercharger" in the casting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 Thanks. What is funny is I have 3 and none have it. Is there any way to identify late from early or 6 from 8? I assumed with the 2 bolts for the carb it was not late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Man Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 This is the official answer from my expert.....The 34-35 eight-cylinder ones just had the long brass plate that said SUPERCHARGER - no Graham name. Then in 1936 they added the Graham Script name that was used in 36-37 along with the brass SUPERCHARGER plate.In 38-40 they still had the SUPERCHARGER plate but the Graham name was put on in block letters similar to the logo used for these years. NOt sure that this really got started in 38 - perhaps later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share Posted December 7, 2010 Thanks! From that information I would say this is a 36 to 37 6 cylinder blower. I will pass that along to the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashtwin8 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Hi Everyone,I have a similar question - my father has this Graham Supercharger, but we are not sure what it fits. From the above, I gather that this is a later-model unit. Would this script have been used to the end of Graham production?Any further advice would be appreciate. Is there much demand for a unit like this? Would it be worth our while to restore it before trying to sell it, or would most restorers rather buy it as is?Also, what is the object that looks like an oil pressure sender?Thanks for your help,Jerry KSeattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Jerry,The unit may or may not be rebuildable based on the condition of the gears. My advice would be to put it on ebay as is. See if it spins freely and note that in your ad. It seems that everyone that ever junked a Graham removed the blower and kept it. I've seen them go for anywhere from 100 to 600 dollars depending on condition, year and completeness. You will see at least a few of them on ebay every year.
