Section 3

OIL FEED INSTALLATION

A.

The supercharger uses engine oil for lubrica-
tion and must have an oil feed line connect-
ed to a filtered oil access on the engine.

B.

Remove the 1/4"NPT oil pressure sending
unit from the fitting installed in the engine
block (just above the factory fuel pump).
Install the supplied 1/4"NPT street TEE in
the factory fitting. Install the oil pressure
sender in one of the openings and the sup-
plied 1/4"NPT x -4 fitting in the other. (See
Fig. 3-a.)

*** NOTE ***

Use clean engine oil on the pipe threads. Teflon tape
and sealant is NOT recommended as it might loosen
and cause blockage of the small oil feed orifice
resulting in supercharger failure.

C.

Attach the 90° end of the supplied -4 braid-
ed oil feed line to the installed fitting. (See
Fig. 3-a.) Secure the hose with the tie-wraps
provided, routing it away from exhaust heat,
chafing and/or sharp objects. Temporarily
cover the open end from debris until the
connection is made to the supercharger.
