5. OIL FEED LINE

A. Disconnect and remove the oil pressure

sender from the engine. The sender is
found at the rear of the intake manifold to
the right side of the distributor.

B. Install the supplied nipple and tee fitting

into the block and place the sending unit in
the upper end. Install the 45

fitting in the

side port and orient the assembly so that
it points forward and slightly outward to-
wards the passenger's side (see

Figure

5-a

). Reconnect the pressure sender con-

nector.

C. Attach the preassembled oil hose onto the

fitting. Route the hose forward along the
inside of the right valve cover. Be careful
not to rest the oil hose or ignition wires on
the EGR tube at the rear of the head.

D. Before connecting the other end of the

hose to the supercharger, briefly crank
over the engine in order to purge the line
with oil and remove any contaminants
from the line. Use a drain pan or coffee can
to catch the oil.

E. Place the 45

union fitting into the super-

charger fitting. Connect the hose to the
45

fitting.
