A. Remove the stock 1/4" hex head pipe plug
from the front left lower portion of the engine
block, if equipped, and replace it with the kit
supplied 1/4" socket head pipe plug.
Replacement of the square head plug allows
for supercharger bracket installation clear-
ance. Apply Teflon paste sparingly to the
plug's threads prior to installation. (See Fig.
3-a.)
B. Remove stock oil pressure transducer, and
install in its place an 1/8" straight "T". Orient
the fitting to allow for suitable installation and
routing of oil supply line. Apply engine oil to
the male thread prior to installation. Next,
install the 1/8"NPT x 45° male elbow into the
side port of the straight "T" (see Fig. 3-b).
Thread one end of the oil feed hose onto the
1/8"NPT x 45° male elbow. Use a small
amount of oil when installing the flare type oil
feed hose assembly. Route the hose towards
the front of the engine; keep the free end
capped to avoid contamination.
