12. FINAL ASSEMbLY AND CHECK
A. If your vehicle has gone over 20,000 miles since its
last spark plug change, it is a good idea to change
the spark plugs now, before test-driving.
b. Make sure that oil drain to oil pan fitting is tight and
that the engine is filled with factory specified oil.
Check the oil drain hose to make sure it is not touch-
ing the A/C pulley.
C. Make sure that the vehicle is filled with 91 octane or
higher fuel before commencing a test drive.
D. Check all fittings, nuts, bolts and clamps for tight-
ness.
WARNING: Do not attempt to operate the vehicle
until ALL components are installed and
ALL operations are completed includ-
ing final check. Failure to do so may
cause PREMATURE FAILURE OF
MAJOR COMPONENTS.

E. In order to check the accessory belt tension, turn on
as many electrical loads as possible (headlights, A/C,
etc) This will place maximum load on the alternator
at startup. If belt squeal is heard, tighten the belt ten-
sioner until it is eliminated. This most often occurs
immediately after starting the vehicle because the
alternator is drawing maximum load.
F. At this point, it is OK to start the vehicle. Verify that
the gilmer belt is running smoothly. If wear is detect-
ed on the side of the belt, it is probably too tight. If it
is vibrating excessively, tighten until there is minimal
movement. Mildly rev the engine to check for belt
squeal.
G. Turn off the vehicle and recheck all fluid levels and
verify that no hoses, wires, etc. are near exhaust
headers or moving parts and that there is no fluid
leakage.
H. Test drive the vehicle by gradually working up to full
throttle and paying close attention to any abnormal
sounds or engine detonation.
I. If belt squeal is heard, tighten the accessory belt ten-
sioner until it is eliminated.
J. Re-install the splash pan and the plastic engine
cover. The engine cover will need to be trimmed to
clear the accessory drive belt (see Fig. 12-a).
Re-install the strut tower brace (if previously
removed).
K. Read the STREET SUPERCHARGER SYSTEM
OWNER’S MANUAL and return the WARRANTY
REGISTRATION FORM within (30) days of purchas-
ing your supercharger system to quality for the
3-year limited warranty.
WARNING: Never operate your engine at full
throttle when the engine is cold.
Always allow plenty of time for the oil
to reach full operating temperature
before running above 2,500 RPM.
Full supercharger operating tempera-
ture is generally achieved only after
the engine water temperature has
been at the normal indicated operat-
ing range for several minutes.
