A. Remove the two screws holding the small casting
or oil cooler block located directly above the oil
filter. (Vehicles with oil coolers will appear the
same as depicted in Fig. 6-a.)
B. Using engine oil on the threads, install 1/8”NPT
to #4 x 90° fitting into the supplied oil feed
adapter.
C. Using the adapter, the appropriate supplied
gasket and the supplied longer 6mm screws,
assemble the components as shown in Fig.
6-a.
D. Install a 1/8”NPT to #4 90° fitting into the su-
percharger oil feed filter. Use a small amount
of engine oil on the pipe threads. Pipe sealant
should not be used as it can clog the filter and
damage the supercharger.
E. Route the oil feed line from the supercharger to
the installed fitting. Use an adel clamp on the
side of the oil pan and tie wraps to secure the
oil feed and oil drain lines and protect them from
kinking, abrasion and high heat areas. (See Fig.
6-a.)
F. Drain the engine oil, install a new filter and refill
the engine with fresh oil.
