OIL
FILTER
TO SUPERCHARGER
A. Disconnect the negative lead to the bat-
tery.
B. Remove the fan and shroud to aid in
installation. It may also be necessary to
install a fan spacer at a later time.
C. (V-Belt) Loosen all nuts and bolts that
are used to tension the alternator and
power steering pump V-belts. Remove
the factory belts.
D. (Serpentine) Loosen tension on the ten-
sioner and remove the factory drive belt.
E. (Serpentine) If so equipped, loosen the
two screws securing the alternator to the
cast factory bracket on the driver’s side.
Remove any other electrical connections
to the alternator. Remove the alternator
from the bracket and set aside.
C. Connect the supplied feed line to the flare fit-
ting and route it up to the front of the driver’s
side cylinder head. Secure the hose with tie-
wraps away from exhaust heat, chaffing
and/or sharp objects. Temporarily cover the
open end from debris until the connection is
made to the supercharger.
(See Fig. 2-a.)
A. The supercharger uses engine oil for lubrica-
tion and must have an oil feed line connected
to a filtered oil access point on the engine.
B. Remove the 1/4"NPT plug located on the
engine block just above the oil filter boss.
Replace the plug with the supplied 1/4"NPT x
90° elbow and 1/4"NPT x -4 flare fitting.
1. PREPARATION/REMOVAL
2. OIL FEED INSTALLATION
V-BELT NOTE: This kit is designed to work
with later model V-belt power
steering pumps. The power steer-
ing pulley shaft should be Ø3/4"
and is not threaded at the end.
NOTE: Use clean engine oil on the pipe threads.
Teflon tape and sealant is not recom-
mended as it might loosen and cause
blockage of the small oil feed orifice
resulting in supercharger failure.
F. (Serpentine) Remove the power steer-
ing pulley from the power steering
pump. Loosen the screws securing the
pump and remove the pump from the
factory bracket. Temporarily lay the
pump in the engine compartment.
G. (Serpentine) Remove the factory cast
bracket from the driver’s side of the
motor.
H. (V-Belt) Remove the factory power
steering pump from the motor.
