flow. Install the air filter element (Figure 2, #e)
and re-install air filtr cover.
Disconnect the plastic factory air inlet duct
at the air inlet hood. remove the air inlet
hood from the mounting bracket by twisting it
until the four tabs line up with the slots in the
bracket.
NOTE: Some vehicles may not have the air inlet
hood, only the mountingbracket.
Insert the banks plastic bulkhead fitting
(Figure 2, #d) through the bracket from the
front side. The bulkhead fitting may be used as is,
or the curved portion may be cut off as required if
this lines up better with the grille. Figure 5 shows
where to cut the bulkhead if the curved portion is
to beremoved.
Drill four 3 ⁄
16
” diameter holes through the
air inlet hood bracket around the perimeter
of the center hole. see Figure 6. If the bracket
cannot be drilled while in place, it may be
unbolted for rilling.
Slip the bulkhead fitting into the end of
the factory air intake duct, and rotate
the bulkhead fitting into the desired mounting
position. Have someone hold the bulkhead fitting
against the mounting bracket from the front side
while you mark the centers of the four drilled hole
locations. drill four 1 ⁄
16
” diameter holes into the
bulkhead fitting at thes points.
Now bolt the bulkhead fitting to the bracket
using four no. 6 x 1 ⁄
2
” sheet metal screws.
Hook up the factory flex hose from the air filter
base to the bulkhead fitting. secure with a no. 64
hose clamp (Figur 2, #B).
* Determine a location for the Ram-Air Super-
Scoop (Figure 2, #A). It should be placed
as low as possible directly behind the grille, with
the air inlet opening pointing straight ahead. If the
grille is at an angle, the scoop should be trimmed
at an angle to place the air inlet opening against
the back side of the grille with the centerline of
the inlet opening horizontal. see Figure 7 . use
heavy snips or a hack saw to trim the air inlet
opening of the scoop. The height between the
Super-Scoop and the air inlet hood should be as
great as possible to prevent any rain water not
eliminated by the Scoop’s water drain hole from
climbing up into the air filter. The curved outlet
section of the Scoop may be trimmed back if less
bend is required to make a more streamlined
house fitting. see Figure 7 .
Once a location has been determined for the
ram-air super-scoop, mount it using one
of the methods outlined in Figure 8. If the grille
consists of horizontal bars of a perforated metal
screen heavy enough to support the inductor, it
may be secured using four 14” clear nylon cable
ties, provided, slipped through the ears on the
inductor and through the grille. see Figure 8 .
An alternate method is to mount the inductor
using the four perforated metal straps provided.
These can be bent as required and attached to the
inductor ears with the 1 /

O.d. x 5 ⁄

I.d. flat washers, pro-
vided. The opposite end of the straps may be
attached to any convenient mounting points such
as the gravel pan, grille brackets, etc. as required,
with four no. 10 x 3 ⁄
4
” sheet metal screws, pro-
vided. a combination of cable ties and straps may
also be used.
Connect the bulkhead fitting to the Super-
Scoop using the 4” flex hose (Figure 2,
#C) provided. The flex hose may be shortened as
necessary. secure the hose with two no. 64 hose
clamps (Figure 2, #B).
