7. 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 tee fitting into the block and

place the sending unit in the upper end. Install the
union fitting in the side port and orient the assembly
so that it points rearward and slightly outward
towards the passenger seat. Reconnect the
pressure sender connector.

C. Attach the preassembled red 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.

D. Before connecting the other end of the hose to the

supercharger, briefly crank over the engine in
order to purge the line of 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 super-
charger oiling orifice not be plugged;
therefore, do not use Teflon tape or
other sealant that could possibly cause
blockage. Use engine oil.
