Re: B&M 172 Blower?
Ron,
It's a small world. My damaged blower is at your shop. Eric gave me an estimate to fix it. I am trying to see if it makes sense to pick up an used one and send it to you for a rebuild. The problem is I don't know exactly what I am trying to replace.

Re: B&M 172 Blower?
Dion,
Just looked at your blower and you have a B&M 174, so the Weiand blower will not work for you. Unfortunately that style of blower has been discontinued by Holley and there are no replacement rotors for the 174 blowers. Holley changed the design on the rotors when they combined the B&M and Weiand product line so they no longer fit the older B&M style blower. The only fix we have is to machine our 192 rotors and gears down to fit your cases.
If you are looking for a used blower you need a B&M 174 blower. Your snout shaft and coupler are still in good shape, so any 174 blower regardless on what lenght snout it has. We will just use your snout on it. Try looking on Ebay or put the word out here on OSO and hopefully you can find a 174 blower.
