Blower question
Hey on my vette I have a crate 350 with a small b@m blower. Do these require any maintenance. This is my first blower car so just don't know. It's running fine and would like it to continue that way. I figure a few of you have had blower cars so best to ask here. Thanks

I have a 174 B&M it is on a 350 and has been for 20+ years. At one point in time I had to have it restriped. If yours even has Teflon strips. They are pretty durable check the oil.

There is a Ellen head pipe plug on the top of the gear box front of blower. You will have to stick something down in that hole to check the level. Should be about half full. 75-90 gear oil. Or Brad Penn Blower oil
