Now I have to figure out what to do with it, since I can't afford a 190SL.
Hang it on the wall? Pull the 2.3 six out of my W110 230 fintail and swap in a '70s 2.3 four?

Does that bolt to a dual carb manifold or does it need two additional carbs to feed it? Awesome.
Wow, that's really cool!
Pretty sure the single carb is facing you and those studs up top bolt to the head or another piece of intake manifold.
You bought It right? I would not have closed the browser... Lol
I am interested if you want to sell it. Been looking for one of those.
This just got even cooler...
It bolts on in place of the sidedraft Solex carbs. Here's a good site with installation instructions: http://www.190slgroup.com/tech/judson/judson%20p1.htm
I know it's worth a lot more than I paid for it. Just not sure how much more. I did find an ebay auction that ended at $9000. Ebay 190SL Supercharger
The supercharger has a Grassroots worthy story that goes with it. The guy's dad and uncle put the super charger and 190SL engine into a 1963 Studebaker station wagon. Then drove it from WI to CA and back. After that the uncle wanted his engine back, so the supercharger was put in a wood crate and stored in the garage for 40+ years.
Tim I have contacted you privately.
That single carb is a Holley, and there is a version of it that has a glass fuel bowl. I have a couple of them, and it is pretty cool.
I had one on an MG Midget. I paid $300 for it in the mid 90s. I agree, they run way too hot. Mine was loud as well. The carb is a Holley 1904. I still have the inverse oiler, which I constantly had to mess with to get enough oil, but not too much. I still have a 5 gallon bucket of the oil. I made vanes of delrin, which melted. George Folchi was using a phenolic material and although he sent some to me to try, I never used them. I turned the driven pulley down and went from 4 psi to 7. The car wasn't any faster with the supercharger and since the Midget was my DD with the heat, noise, and oil, I sold to a Spitfire guy for $400. In my experience, the Judson is not a practical or worthwhile addition to a car that sees any kind of real usage.
