Remove the 3.5" plastic idler retainer and washer.

Carefully reposition the idler and its two spacers

to the lower mounting hole just below its current

position. Reinstall the retainer previously removed

and tighten. (See Fig. 2-c.)

G.

Install the five 3/8-16 x 1.0" bolts and washers

through the back side of the mounting plate.

Attach the supercharger assembly to the mount-

ing plate using the previously installed hardware.

A 9/16" ratcheting end wrench will greatly aid this

step.

Secure the oil drain hose to the installed brass fit-

ting in the oil pan, making sure to route in a

smooth downward manner away from moving or

hot objects.

Attach the -4 oil feed hose to the straight -4 fitting

installed in the supercharger. Secure away from

moving or hot objects.

K.

Using a 1/2" ratchet, rotate the factory spring ten-

sioner clockwise and install the accessory drive

belt. (See Fig. 2-d for proper belt routing.)

NOTE: Any dips, “uphill” sections, kinks or restric-

tions may cause drainage problems and pos-

sible supercharger failure.
