Fig. 14-a
Fig. 14-b
A. Un-secure the power steering cooler from the
front of the car. Drill 9/32" holes in the rear of
the mounting tabs.
B. Remount the power steering cooler using the
new holes to position it forward.
C. Mark locations for the supplied water cooler.
D. Mount the supplied cooler using the supplied
self tapping screws with the barbs facing to
the driver’s side directly behind the remount-
ed power steering cooler. (See Fig. 14-a.)
15. WATER LINE ROUTING (H.O. Charged Cooled Kits Only.)
A. Cut a 60" length of 3/4" hose. Run this
from the top 90° fitting on the charge
cooler to the 90° fitting located on the
top of the triangular water reservoir.
Route the hose towards the front of the
car between the air conditioning con-
denser and grill, over to the water tank.
Make sure that the hose is smoothly
routed without tight bends or kinks.
B. Install the 4" end of the 90° molded
rubber elbow to the outlet of the water
pump.
C. Cut a 70" length of 3/4" hose. Connect
it to the 12" end of the 90° molded
hose with the supplied barbed hose
mender. Run the hose along the base
of the radiator to the supplied rubber
180° hose using the 3/4"-5/8" reducer.
Run the open end of the 180° hose to
the bottom barb on the water cooler
(Running this hose to the bottom barb
is important to flush out any air in the
water system.)
NOTE: When routing hoses, refer to Fig. 15-a.
Trim all hoses for best fit.
D. Cut a 40" length of 3/4" hose. Run this
from the top barb of the water cooler to
the bottom 90° fitting on the charge air
cooler.
E. Secure all hose ends with the supplied
nylon clamps.
F. Start filling the system with a 50/50
water/glycol mix. Check the 1"NPT alu-
minum fitting in the water tank to see if
water is flowing out of the 1/8"NPT
hole. Once water is to this point, install
the 1/8"NPT plug into the 1” aluminum
fitting.
G. With the key on, make sure the charge
cooler water pump is operating and
that water is flowing through the cooler.
Fill the system if necessary. If the
water is not flowing, remove the charge
cooler supply hose and lower until
water flow out of the hose. If neces-
sary, provide light suction to the hose
to help prime the pump. Verify water
flow. Do not let the pump run for
extended periods (30 seconds or
more) without water flow. Fill the
charge cooler tank until the level stabi-
lizes.
