5. SUPERCHARGER BRACKET
A. Install the supercharger mounting bracket to the
top two water pump bosses using the provided
bolts. Loosely fit the bolts at this time.
B. Install the alternator bracket to the bosses on
the supercharger bracket with the bolts pro-
vided. Place the 1.50" spacer between the
bracket and engine in the lowest hole and loosely
secure it.
C. Thread the adjuster bolt into the alternator and
pull the alternator all the way up in the adjusting
slot and secure it there temporarily by lightly
tightening the bolt. Now secure all of the bolts in
the supercharger and alternator brackets.
Loosen the alternator and let it rest in the fully
retracted position.
D. Install the mounting bracket brace between the
upper left-hand hole (driver’s side) on the super-
charger mounting bracket and the front intake
manifold stud. Tighten bolts and nuts securely.
NOTE: See Fig. 5-a on page 3 for fastener
locations.
6. OIL FEED LINE
A. Using a 1-1/16" socket (6 point), remove the oil
pressure sender from the rear of the intake
manifold.
B. Thread the oil pressure sender into the end of
the provided brass TEE fitting. Thread the 1/4"
NPT nipple into the opposite end of the TEE.
Screw the 1/4" NPT x #4 flare fitting into the
remaining branch. (See
Figs. 6-a, 6-b.)
C. Screw the brass TEE assembly into the pres-
sure sender hole in the block. The fitting should
point towards the right side front tire (approxi-
mately nine o’clock when viewed from above).
NOTE: All pipe threads require sealing tape or
paste. However, flared fittings should
be lightly oiled only.
