Install the supercharger mounting plate on
the alignment dowels and tap the plate lightly
until it is flush with the supercharger gear
case. (See Fig. 8-b.)

Align the counter bores in the black coupler
housing with the alignment dowels passing
through the supercharger mounting plate.
Lightly tap the drive housing until it is flush
with the mounting plate. (See Fig. 8-c.)

Install onto the supercharger input shaft, the
supplied key and drive coupling containing
three 1/4" diameter dowel pins protruding
from it. (Apply a thin film of anti-seize or
grease onto the inside diameter of the cou-
pling before installing onto the input shaft.)
Secure the coupling with the supplied 3/8"-24
x .75" HXHD and Ø1.0 O.D. washer.

NOTE:

Heat may also be necessary to install the

coupling onto the shaft. (A propane

torch will make this easier if needed.)

Use a light thread lock compound on the

3/8"-24 x .75" screw threads.

NOTE:

It is necessary to leave the hardware

loose to allow for the correct clocking of

the housing assembly upon final installa-

tion. (See Fig. 8-d.)

Install the two supplied 1.80" spacers
between the supercharger and the mounting
plate. Secure in one location with a 3/8"-16 x
2.5" flathead and in the other with a 2.75"
HXHD. Leave both fasteners loose at this
time. (See Fig. 8-c.)

In the middle mounting location, secure the
supercharger to the mounting plate with the
supplied 12mm x 1.75" x 25mm screw and
washer. Leave the fastener loose at this time.
(See Fig. 8-c.)

Locate the preassembled drive shaft assem-
bly. Connect the three-pin coupler from the
end of the drive shaft to the three-pin coupler
on the supercharger assembly using the sup-
plied composite ring. Align the hole patterns
so that one side of pins is alternating with the
opposite side of pins. Each pin will have its
own hole. Verify that each set of pins is
inserted into the raised bosses with holes
on their corresponding side of the com-
posite ring. Push together until each coupler
is flush with the composite ring. (See Figs. 8-
d and the boxed section of Fig 8-f.)

With the couplers aligned, align the two cou-
pler housings. Using the four 5/16"-18 x 5.25"
HXHD screws secure the drive shaft assem-
bly to the supercharger assembly.
