OIL FEED LINE

Using an 11/32" pipe plug socket, remove
the pipe plug located directly over the oil fil-
ter. (See Fig. 10-a.)

Install the male end of the 3/8" street fitting
into the hole where the pipe plug was
removed. Orient the fitting so that it points
to the front of the vehicle. Install the sup-
plied 3/8" bushing into the pipe plug hole.
Last, install the 1/8 NPT x -4 fitting into the
bushing. Use a small amount of clean engine
oil on the pipe threads.

Attach the supplied 1/8" NPT x 45° flare fit-
ting to the oil feed fitting on the supercharg-
er. When tightening the fitting, use a 1/2"
wrench on the oil feed base for support. Use
a small amount of clean engine oil on the
pipe threads. Pipe sealant should not be used
as a piece of it may break free and clog the
filter and damage the supercharger.

Route the supplied oil feed hose from the
supercharger oil fitting along the front of the
engine, down past the exhaust manifold and
over to the installed brass fittings. Use the
supplied heat shrouding on the oil feed hose
where it runs by the exhaust maniflold. Use
tie wraps to secure the oil feed hose and pro-
tect it from kinking, abrasion and high heat
areas. (See Fig. 10-b.)

Drain the engine oil, install a new filter and
refill the engine with fresh oil.

PIPE PLUG

***WARNING***

When threading the 1/8" NPT x 45° flare fitting

into the supercharger, use engine oil on the

pipe threads for lubrication. Teflon tape, paste

or other sealant is not recommended as it

may loosen and cause blockage of the oil feed

orifice, resulting in supercharger failure.
