hose. (See Fig. 7F-a.)

3. Attach the hose to the stainless union

with a #24 SS hose clamps.

4. Trim the short 90° hose end that was

previously connected to the engine (it will

elbow to the cooler inlet and loosely

install a #44 hose clamp. The open end

of the elbow should be facing up as it will

be attached to the supercharger dis-

Attach the open end of the previously

installed 2.75" elbow to the supercharger

discharge and loosely install a #44 hose

clamp.

8. Attach the cooler discharge to the previ-

ously installed elbow.

ting pointed towards the rear of the vehi-

cle.

fitting on the surge tank to the rear facing

fitting on the charge air cooler.
