SUPERCHARGER DRIVE BELT INSTALLATION

A. Insert the keyway into the extended drive input

shaft and install the pulley. Using thread-
locker, install the 3/8-24 bolt through the
washer and retainer and into the input shaft.
The pulley retainer bolt will be tightened after
the supercharger belt is installed.

B. Install the supercharger drive belt. Once the

belt is fully routed except for going around the
supercharger pulley, start the belt on the
supercharger pulley and use a ratchet on the
harmonic damper bolt to manually rotate
engine until the belt is on and centered. (See
Fig. 16-a.)

C. Tighten the input shaft bolt as much as pos-

sible until belt slippage occurs. Grab the belt
on each side of the supercharger pulley with
one hand and squeeze together. Tighten the
input shaft bolt to 35 ft/lbs.
