A. Attach the open end of the oil drain line to the

supercharger and secure using one of the #8 hose

clamps provided.

*** NOTE ***

The oil drain hose may need to be trimmed for prop-

er fit. It must maintain a continuous downward direc-

tion free of any dips or restrictions.

B. Lower the supercharger onto the mounting plate

installed on the engine.

C. Locate the five 3/8-16 x 1.5" bolts, 3/8 AN wash-

ers, and five .29” spacers. Install the five bolts

through to the supercharger while sandwiching

the .29” spacers between the supercharger mount-

ing bosses and the backside of the main bracket.

Tighten in steps. (See Fig 5.2-a.)

D. If not already completed, attach the oil drain line

to the fitting previously installed in the oil pan or

fuel pump block off plate and secure using the

supplied #8 hose clamp.

E. Install the 1/8"NPT x -4 x 45° fitting onto the oil

feed fitting using oil to lubricate the threads.

Attach the oil feed hose to this fitting and tighten.

(See Fig. 5.2-b.)

*** NOTE ***

Some applications (depending on intake manifold

height) may require the reclocking of the supercharg-

er volute. If reclocking is required for your applica-

tion, loosen and remove the six 1/4-20 cap screws

and retaining plates that hold the compressor housing

(volute) to the gearcase. If the compressor housing

does not rotate freely relative to the gearcase, DO

NOT FORCE IT. SERIOUS SUPERCHARGER

DAMAGE MAY OCCUR. The machined mating sur-

faces are designed to prevent pressurized air from

escaping and have minimal tolerances. If the housing

will not move or is very tight, contact Paxton

Automotive immediately at 888 9-PAXTON and ask

our service department for further assistance.
