8. OIL FEED LINE

A. Disconnect and remove the oil pressure sender

from the engine. The sender is found at the
rear of the intake manifold to the right side of
the distributor.

B. Install the supplied nipple and tee fitting into

the block and place the sending unit in the
upper end. (1995 and earlier models will use
the 3" long nipple, while 1996-1997 models
will use the 2" nipple.) Install the 45

°

fitting in

the side port and orient the assembly so that
it points forward and slightly outward towards
the passenger side. Reconnect the pressure
sender connector.

C. Attach the preassembled oil hose onto the

fitting. Route the hose forward along the inside
of the right valve cover. Be careful not to rest
the oil hose or ignition wires on the EGR tube
at the rear of the head. (On 1996-1997 models,
no EGR is present).

D. Before connecting the other end of the hose to

the supercharger, briefly crank over the engine
in order to purge the line with oil and remove
any contaminants from the line. Use a drain
pan or coffee can to catch the oil.

E. Place the 45

°

union fitting into the supercharger

fitting. Connect the hose to the 45

°

fitting.

NOTE: It is essential that the
supercharger oiling orifice not be
plugged; therefore, do not use Teflon
tape or other sealant that could possibly
cause blockage. Use engine oil.
