OIL FEED INSTALLATION
A.
The supercharger uses engine oil for lubrica-
tion and must have an oil feed line connect-
ed to a filtered oil access on the engine.
B.
Remove the 1/4"NPT oil pressure sending
unit from the engine block (next to the dis-
tributor). Install the supplied 1/4"NPT street
TEE into the block. Install the oil pressure
sender into the end of the TEE. Install the
1/4" x -4 fitting into the branch of the TEE.
Position the fitting so that the opening faces
the passenger’s side/rear of the engine. (See
Fig. 3.1-a.)
*** NOTE ***
Use clean engine oil on the pipe threads. Teflon tape
and sealant is NOT recommended as it might loosen
and cause blockage of the small oil feed orifice
resulting in supercharger failure.
C.
Attach the 90° end of the supplied -4 braid-
ed oil feed line to the installed fitting. (See
Fig. 3.1-a.) Secure the hose with the tie-
wraps provided, routing it away from
exhaust heat, chafing and/or sharp objects.
Temporarily cover the open end from debris
until the connection is made to the super-
charger.
