will not interfere with the mounting plate when installed.

*B. Feed the oil drain hose over the top of the smog pump and down

towards the oil pan fitting while lowering the supercharger into

position.

C. Secure the supercharger with five 3/8-16 x 1" bolts and AN

washers.

drill two 3/32" holes. Do not install the cover at this time.

B. Insert the mass air flow (MAF) sensor into the back of the air

filter cover. Place the air filter with clamp, from the inside,

NOTE:

The factory water pump pulley must be re-

moved and replaced with an aftermarket unit

for proper supercharger drive belt clearance.

Also, an aftermarket electric fan is recom-

mended, although the factory mechanical fan

may still be retained with minor clearance

modifications.
