SUPERCHARGER INSTALLATION
6. SUPERCHARGER INSTALLATION
Fig. 6-a
A. Install the supplied 1/2" oil drain hose on
the barb fitting on the bottom of the super-
charger and secure with the supplied #8 hose
clamp.
*** NOTE ***
Do not use teflon tape or paste on the fittings as a
piece may break loose and clog an orifice resulting in
supercharger failure.
B. Install the supplied 90º fitting into the super-
charger oil feed so that it will point down-
ward when the supercharger is installed.
C. Attach the supercharger mounting plate to
the supercharger. Use the supplied 3/8" x 1-
1/4" bolts and washers. Leave one of the
mounting holes empty. (See Fig. 6-a.)
D. Install the spring tensioner onto the super-
charger mounting plate using the supplied
3/8 x 2-3/4" screw and washer. The tension-
er locating pin should be in the counter-
clockwise-most hole in the mounting plate
as viewed in Fig. 6-a. Use the supplied
spring tensioner release tool to fully retract
the spring tensioner. (See Fig. 6-a.)
(Use a 3/8" x 1" bolt through the mounting
plate to hold the thrust block. The receiver
block seats on the protruding threads of the
spring tensioner idler retaining bolt.)
*** NOTE ***
Bending the factory hard line that runs to the radiator
fan will provide supercharger clearance. Test fit and
then bend as necessary in the middle of the line (avoid
stressing the ends
E. With 1.1" spacers at all connection points
between the two plates, attach the super-
charger plate assembly to the primary
mounting plate using the supplied 3/8" hard-
ware. Route the oil drain hose over the
steering rack. Make sure that the back of the
supercharger drive belt encircles the spring
tensioner idler. (See Fig. 6-b.)
