14. SUPERCHARGER INSTALLATION

A. Attach the air inlet duct to the supercharger inlet with the

#208-91 clamp. Position the inlet so that it points downward,
parallel to the drain fitting. Leave the clamp loose so that the
air inlet duct can be rotated for adjustment.

B. Attach the 36" drain hose and clamp to the fitting on then

bottom of the supercharger. Make sure that the clamp is
rotated so that it will not interfere with the mounting plate
when installed.

C. Slide a #200-84 clamp onto the 90

°

rubber inlet elbow.

D. Lower the supercharger/air inlet duct assembly down onto

the supercharger plate. Rotating the air inlet duct and
supercharger slightly to clear the radiator and mounting
plate bolts will ease installation. Feed the oil drain downward
and toward the left side.

E. Install the four (4) 3/8-16 x 3/4" bolts and 3/8" AN washers

into the supercharger through the bracket underneath,
using a 9/16" socket and 1/4" drive ratchet with swivel.

F. Use the 3/8-16 x 5-1/4" bolt, 3/8" washer, 4 hole attachment

plate (use the single hole in the middle with the upper single
hole offset toward the throttle body) and the tube spacer (in
the same order) to connect the upper portion of the
supercharger to the supercharger bracket.

RISER

SUPERCHARGER
PULLEY

A. Place the supercharger belt around the

crank pulley and under the spring
tensioner.

B. Make sure the belt routes around the large

riser on the mounting bracket (passenger
side, above the spring tensioner), as shown
in the graphic, BEFORE the mounting
plate is put into position.

C. Place the smooth idler pulley and spacer

onto the bracket (make sure that the belt
is routed underneath the idler pulley). Place
the plate into position with a 3/8-16 x 3-1/2"
bolt and 3/8" AN washer through the plate
to hold the pulley and spacer in position.
Fasten down the plate with the remaining
two (2) 3/8-16 x 1" bolts and 3/8" AN washers
to the bracket.
