A. Reservoir Installation

Using two of the supplied 1/4” x 3/4” long bolts,

insert through the passenger side fender well

underneath the headlight. Install the reservoir

mounting bracket and tighten as shown in

Figs. 11-a and 11-b. Use the supplied washer

on each side.

Using the reservoir mounting bracket as a tem-

plate, drill a 1/4” hole and insert and tighten

the third mounting bolt.

Using thread sealant, install a 1/2” NPT 90° hose

barb fitting in the top of the reservoir so that

it will point away from the frame rail when the

reservoir is installed.

bolt the reservoir mounting bracket to the res-

ervoir using 1/2” long bolts. (See Fig. 11-d.)

Remove the passenger side turn signal wires

from the grommet in the fender well. Re-route

them around the front of the fender well and

re-attach.

Using the two supplied 4x12” 90° molded hoses,

cut about 2” from each of the short legs and

connect the short legs with the supplied hose

mender and clamps (see Fig. 11-i for system

plumbing).

N. Tighten the supplied 8mm screws securing the

mounting plate to the engine.

O. Tighten the 12mm bolts running through the mount-

ing plate.

P. Route the free end of the oil feed hose to the super-

charger and attach. The oil feed assembly should be

checked/plumbed per

Fig. 10-g.

Q. Attach the free end of the oil drain hose to the previ-

ously installed oil drain tube. Make sure that the oil

drain hose and tube are constantly slanting down

towards the oil pan. If the drain hose gets kinked,

routed uphill or is otherwise restricted, supercharger

damage may occur.

R. Tighten the oil drain tube nut in the oil pan fitting.

Tighten the oil drain hose clamp.

S. Provide 1/2” clearance from the supercharger to the

radiator fan support by cutting the support. A small

bladed saw such as a hacksaw blade works well for

this step. (

See Fig. 10-i.)
