OIL DRAIN LINE
A To provide an oil drain for the supercharger,
it is necessary to make a hole in the oil pan.
Locate and center punch the hole per Fig.
9-a.
B. Use the supplied 9/16" roto-broach to drill
the hole in the oil pan. Take care to break
through the pan gently and remove the cut
out.
C. Pack the flutes of a 3/8" NPT tap with
grease. Tap the hole until the fitting can be
started.
D. Thoroughly clean the threaded area. Reach
inside the oil pan and retrieve any stray
chips. Apply a small amount of sealer to the
threads. Make sure there is a seal formed
around the fitting. Install the 3/8" NPT to
1/2" barb fitting pointing slightly upwards.
E. Route the oil drain hose from the super-
charger to the barb fitting, attach and secure
with a #8 hose clamp. Trim the hose for best
fit. (See Fig. 9-b.)
***IMPORTANT***
The draining oil is gravity fed so the drain
hose must be routed downhill with no kinks or
dips.

***NOTE***
When drilling and tapping the hole, be carefull
not to damage the windage tray. The tray will
be close when performing the following steps:
