K. Install the five supplied M8 x 45mm bolts and

washers securing the supercharger mounting
bracket to the bellhousing and transmission.
Reinstall the plastic speed pickup. Tighten all
bolts previously left loose.

Install the drive pulley key onto the pulley shaft.

Make sure that the supplied .093” pulley spacer
is installed onto the shaft

before the pulley is

installed. Slide the pulley onto the shaft carefully.
Do not hammer or pry on the pulley if clearance
is tight as pulley and driveshaft damage may
result. Lightly heat the pulley with a propane
torch if required. Secure the pulley with the 3/8-
24 bolt (apply one drop of blue Loctite to the bolt
threads prior to installation), AN washer and
pulley retainer. The retainer must mate directly to
the outside of the pulley. Tighten the bolt.

the idler plate as shown in

using the 7/16-14 bolt, washer, dust shield and
locknut.

the supplied diagram. (See

Fig. 11-e.) Lower the

idler pulley/idler plate assembly, assembled in
the previous step, into place and secure with the
three 8mm x 25mm bolts and 5/16” washers
supplied.
