13. OIL FEED INSTALLATION (OIL-FED UNITS ONLy),

cont'd

E.

Locate the OEM oil pressure sensor located just

above and behind the engine oil filter. (See Fig.

13E)

F.

Disconnect the electrical connector from the OEM

oil pressure sensor and remove the sensor itself

by unthreading it from its 1/4" NPT port.

Temporarily plug the port, as a small amount of oil

may drain out.

G.

Install the supplied 1/4" NPT TEE fitting into the

oil pressure sensor port and orient so one female

port faces upward and one faces outward.

H.

Install the OEM oil pressure sensor into the

upward-facing port of the TEE. (See Fig. 13H)

I.

Install the 1/4" NPT male x -4AN male 90° fitting

into the outward-facing port of the TEE. Orient to

point forward and slightly down. (See Fig. 13H)

J.

Reconnect the electrical connector to the OEM oil

pressure sensor.

K.

Connect the straight end of the previously-

installed -4AN braided hose to the -4AN male 90°

fitting installed into the TEE, routing the hose

between the alternator and oil filter. (See Fig.

13K)

L.

Confirm that all oil feed fittings are secure and

that the hose is secured in a smooth path free of

kinks and away from moving parts and sharp

edges.

ed as it might loosen and cause blockage of

the small oil feed orifice resulting in possible

supercharger failure.
