The NEW Judson Boost Gauge

It is difficult to categorize this New Judson Boost Gauge. Is it a reproduction, a remanufacture or is it the latest in a line of Judson Gauges made to compliment your Judson Supercharger? Haddon Judson, the son of the originator of the Judson Supercharger thinks it should be referred to as the latest of the Official Judson Gauges. It is after all a fully approved and copyright paid product and if you look closely at the pictures below you just might agree that it is better than the previous Judson Gauges. You'll also notice that we have chosen to make a gauge with the 0-7 psi boost range. Why? The original 7 psi Judson Gauge has become the most sought after gauge on the Internet auction rooms and for good reason. The gauge was made in answer to criticisms of the 0-15 psi Judson Gauge being that  the 15 psi gauge was more difficult to read having less needle deflection in operation. So here it is...the culmination of many months hard work by engineer Stéphane Lhonneux of "Wolfsburg Specialties", a gauge that is not only faithful to the original but is made from higher quality materials.

 Old (Original) Judson Gauge.

One can observe the difference between the old Judson gauge and the new Judson gauge.  The old Judson gauge was originally for large bore engines, *352, 383, 406, 409, 426, 427 and 440 CID engines.  The original gauge was manufactured by Amtek in Sellersville, PA.  There was also a run of original gauges manufactured by Stewart Warner as well.  Quantity and date(s) not known.

Image source not known.

 

 

 

This gauge (Copyright 2005 - ©Maxima Technologies) is similar to  the gauge that Stewart Warner made for Judson in the 1950s. (The image is a current ©Stewart Warner gauge) The gauge face was the same as the original Judson gauge.

List of former Judson companies and entities:

* Mopar(Chrysler) - 383cid, 426cid;  Ford - 352cid, 406cid, 427cid;  GM - 409cid, 440cid;  cid = Cubic Inch Displacement.
In the time period of the Judson superchargers, the European market automobiles were taxed, historically, based on the displacement of the engine.  While American automobiles were taxed based on the purchase price.  Because of this an American built automobile could have the same wheel base and base purchase price (cost) as a European built automobile.  But, the European built automobile would have a smaller engine displacement.  While the American automobile would have an engine displacement far in excess of their European counterpart.  The American automobile was taxed on the "Sales" price.  Not on engine displacement.
