6.2 PERFORM THE FOLLOWING:
A. Cycle the ignition key from the “off” to
“on” position three (3) times at fifteen
(15) second intervals. Afterwards, check
the entire fuel system for any leaks.
IMPORTANT:
B. Start the car. Verify that the oil pressure is
within the normal operating range. Listen
closely. The engine should idle and sound
the same as it did before you began the
installation. Shut off the engine, discon-
nect the oil feed line from the blower.
Remove the oil jet from the blower. Blow
through the oil jet to ensure there is no
blockage or foreign matter plugging it.
Re-install oil jet and oil feed line and pro-
ceed.
C. Allow the engine to come up to normal
operating temperature. Bleed the cooling
system and top off as necessary.
6.3 CHECK FOR THE FOLLOWING:

• Throttle response.
*** CAUTION ***
See the supercharger service manual included in your
kit for information on supercharger servicing and
maintenance, belt tightening, troubleshooting, special
tuning and warranty information.
Now that the work is done, it’s time to enjoy
your labor of love. Take the car out on the road
and let it flex it’s muscles, but remember, the
response and performance will now be different
from that to which you have been accustomed.
Have fun!
