A. Locate the new air filter on the flat area to the

rear of the left headlight and secure through the
end of the filter to the panel floor with the bolt and
washer provided.

B. Use the three plastic elbows, wide blue sleeves

and 3 1/2" flex tube to connect the air filter to the
supercharger inlet as shown in the photo in
section 14 and secure with the hose clamps
provided. Do not overtighten the clamps.

C. If the vehicle is not equipped with a mass air flow

(MAF) sensor, disregard this point.

1. Slide the two narrow blue sleeves onto the

inlet and outlet of the MAF sensor.

2. Splice the MAF into the center of the 3 1/2"

flex hose. Extra clamps are provided.

3. The wires from the sensor must be ex-

tended 18". Cut the wires 3" from the plug
and strip insulation on all cut ends. Extend
the wires by splicing in the four lengths
provided. It is best to solder the connec-
tions and cover with the shrink tube insula-
tion provided. Crimp-type connectors may
be used; however, they are less desirable.

D. Place the discharge duct with the blue sleeves

between the throttle body and the supercharger
and secure with clamps as shown.

E. Disconnect the crankcase vent hose from the

side of the throttle body and place the rubber
cap on the tube and secure. Route the 1/2" hose
from the brass fitting, located on the upper inlet
elbow at the supercharger, under the discharge
plenum and connect to the crankcase vent hose
with the connector tube and clamps provided.

NOTE: Position the elbows and sleeves as low

and as close to the supercharger as
possible. CHECK for HOOD CLEAR-
ANCE and reposition ducts as neces-
sary.

11. AIR FILTER, INLET DUCT AND DISCHARGE PLENUM

NOTE: Some vehicles vent the left valve cover;

in which case, the breather hose would
go directly there and may require trim-
ming.
