Fig. 8-b

1. Attach the water reservoir bracket to the reservoir

using ¼-20 x .5” cap screws. (See Fig. 8-a for

bracket orientation).

2. In the area in front of the driver side front wheel,

position the water reservoir/bracket next to the

frame rail. Orient the assembly for best clearance,

at least 6” from the rear face of the bumper (See

Fig. 8-b)

3. Mark mounting bracket location and remove. Drill

two 11/64” holes for the supplied #12 sheet metal

screws (See Fig. 8-c).

4. Using thread sealant, install the 1/2” NPT 90° hose

barb fitting into the top and bottom of the supplied

plastic reservoir.

5. Secure the assembly to the frame rail using two #12

sheet metal screws.

6. Trial fit the front bumper cover to verify water res-

ervoir clearance.

7. Cut off the electrical plug on the water pump leaving

as much wire connected to the pump as possible.

Install the supplied ¼” eyelet on the water pump

ground wire (brown wire).

8. Connect the pump inlet to the bottom reservoir fitting

with a piece of the supplied hose. Point pump to

discharge up at a 45° angle for 300C vehicles, or

forward (and slightly up, to allow air to escape the

pump housing) for all other vehicles. Secure hose

with clamps on both ends. Drill a hole in the radia-

tor support and secure the water pump to it using

an adel clamp and #12 sheet metal screw. Make

sure to ground the fuel pump under the mounting

screw. (See Fig. 8-d)

9. Connect a hose to the top of the reservoir and run

it up to the area next to the driver side valve cover.

This hose will later be connected to the 90 degree

fitting installed in the bottom of the supplied surge

tank (trim for ideal routing).

tribution box lid approx. 3 inches from inner edge.

the grommet. Connect fuse tap and slide connector

to fuel pump fuse referring to the owner’s manual.
