Secure the tensioner spacer to the large
mounting plate over the previously installed
flathead screw with the supplied 1/4" hard-
ware entering from behind the plate. Mount
the spacer so that the non-threaded hole is
oriented on the bottom and angled toward
the passenger’s side of the vehicle. (See
Figs. 8-d, 8-f.)

Secure the spring tensioner to the installed
tensioner spacer with the supplied hardware.

Slide the supplied 1/2" oil drain hose onto
the supercharger drain and secure with a #8
hose clamp.

Using the supplied 3/8-16 x 1.25" screws
and 3/8" washers, secure the supercharger to
the Paxton mounting bracket. Route the oil
drain hose onto the passenger’s side of the
oil pan.

The belt should be properly routed around
and under all pulleys except for the Paxton
supplied idler.

***NOTE***

Belt installation will be very tight. It may be

necessary to loosen the bolt securing the idler

assembly so that the idler will shift up, allow-

ing for the belt to go under the idler when the

tensioner is at its full lock-out position. (See

Fig. 8-e.) Once you have the belt installed, re-

tighten the bolt holding the idler in place.
