OIL FEED INSTALLATION

The supercharger uses engine oil for lubrica-

tion and must have an oil feed line connect-

ed to a filtered oil access on the engine.

Install the supplied 1/4"NPT street TEE into

the block located on upper rear of the engine

block just above where the bell housing

attaches. Install the oil pressure sender into

the end of the TEE. Install the 1/4" x -4 fit-

ting into the branch of the TEE. Position the

fitting so that the opening faces the passen-

ger’s side/rear of the engine. (See Fig. 3.1-

a.)

*** NOTE ***

Use clean engine oil on the pipe threads. Teflon tape

and sealant is NOT recommended as it might loosen

and cause blockage of the small oil feed orifice

resulting in supercharger failure.

Attach the end of the supplied -4 braided oil

feed line to the installed fitting. (See Fig.

3.1-a.) Secure the hose with the tie-wraps

provided, routing it away from exhaust heat,

chafing and/or sharp objects. Temporarily

cover the open end from debris until the

connection is made to the supercharger.
