A.
It will be necessary to relocate the thermostat
housing to gain clearance for the supercharger
mounting bracket.
B.
Locate hose 7U133-050. This hose will be modi-
fied and replace the factory lower radiator hose
removed in a previous step. (See Fig. 7-a.)
C.
Modify the supplied hose as seen in the figures
below. (See Figs. 7-b, 7-c.)
D.
Trim approximately 5" off of the 9" end of the hose
and 5-1/4" off the 13" end. (See Fig. 7-c.)
E.
Install the long end of the modified hose to the
outlet of the radiator with a #24 hose clamp.
Leave the clamp loose for adjustment.
F.
Install the thermostat housing to the open end of
the new, lower radiator hose and the large formed
factory hose. Adjust the thermostat’s location mak-
ing sure it clears any moving parts.
NOTE: Because of manufacturing toleranc-
es, it is best to leave this hose long
and trim to fit.
