OIL DRAIN
A.
Start by measuring down 2 1/2" on the
passenger’s side of the oil pan and make a
mark. From the second bolt from the front
of the oil pan, measure back 2 1/4" and
make another mark. In this location, drill
a 3/16" hole. With the hole drilled, take a
piece of wire and make sure that the rod
or crank is out of the way. You may have
to rotate the engine.
B.
With the punch provided, start to enlarge
the hole. You will need to use an air-ham-
mer for this. If you try to use a standard
hammer it will destroy the pan. Use anti-
seize on the punch. By doing this, the
punch will go in easier. Be careful to only
go as deep as the shoulder. Test fit the tap
as you go, so you don’t make the hole too
large. The hole should be Ø9/16".
C.
Using a 3/8 x 18NPT tap, begin tapping
the threads, but don’t go all the way in.
Remove the tap, apply sealant to threads
of the fitting provided.
D.
Attach 18" hose to the tap and secure it
with the supplied hose clamp. Route the
hose up to the supercharger and attach.
C.
Install the idler pulley on the idler pulley
stand off.

should be oriented as shown in appendix.
