Dyno readings at 4/5psi. Approx 77hp at flywheel. Bus is now running 6/7psi so really need to pay another visit to the dyno.

Shredded belt. Forgot to tighten idler pulley and it moved up against alternator pulley shredding the belt. :(

Air bleeds on emission model DHLA's are fixed at 2mm (two small holes in centre). Might need to sort these out.

Some time later and I've turned the pulley I found into a new supercharger pulley.

This is the cause of my belt slip - wrong pulley profile. The pulley supplied with the supercharger is for an A profile belt not a vee belt It's the same kind of pulley as you find on lathes, mills and various machines NOT cars.

Got another clearance issue - bit too close to the alternator connection for my liking. This is an easy fix tho

Had to add a second idler pulley as the belt was flapping a bit on the un driven side. Still not 100% so looks like I will need to use a sprung pulley. Really hoping to keep the stock pulleys but will have to see if I can fix the slip and also...

Design flaw - the vac can on the SVDA is a gnats codgers from the drive belt. Will need to address this on the final version.

Modifying the SVDA to limit the overall advance. Normally most people opt to bend the tabs in to lock out the dizzy. I opted to drill and tap the tabs so that I could fit grub screws and 'dial in' the overall advance to suit the application.
