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. Install the supplied 1/4"NPT street TEE into
the block located on upper rear of the engine
block just above where the bell housing
attaches. Install the oil pressure sender into
the end of the TEE. Install the 1/4" x -4 fit-
ting into the branch of the TEE. Position the
fitting so that the opening faces the passen-
ger’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 end of the supplied -4 braided 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 supercharger.
