OIL FEED LINE

A. The supercharger uses en-

gine oil for lubrication and
must have an oil feed line
connected to a filtered oil
access on the engine and
an oil return or drain. The
return is a gravity drain and
should be routed so a
gradual drop is provided and
connected to the oil pan
above oil level and away
from suspension compo-
nents or exhaust headers or
pipes.

B. Remove the oil pressure sending unit located on

the engine block just above the oil filter. Fit the
1/4" NPT tee fitting with the 1/4" NPT to flare
adapter fitting provided. Refit the sending unit
into the 45

fitting on the end.

C. Connect the 1/4" oil feed line to the 1/4" NPT to

adapter fitting. Route the line forward along the
top rail of the oil pan next to the drain line and
then upward, towards the supercharger future
location. Secure to the drain line with the tie
wraps provided.

D. Temporarily cover the end of the hose and

protect it from dirt until connecting to the super-
charger.
