Clean the face of the crankshaft
drive pulley of all grease and foreign matter. Install the supercharger crank pulley and
secure it with four M6 x 30mm bolts with ¼ inch lock washers. Torque to 18 ft-lbs. |
| |
Install the engine oil pan and seal
with silicone gasket material. This would also be a good time to change the oil
filter. Fill the engine with oil. |
| |
Remove the oil pressure sending unit
from the lower left of the block just above the oil filter. Install the 1/8 NPT adapter.
It may be necessary to re-tap the hole in the block to 1/8-27 NPT for proper thread
engagement. If this operation is required coat the tap with grease to catch as much metal
as possible. Clean the port thoroughly. Install the 1/8 NPT street tee into the adapter.
The side port of the tee should point forward after it is fully tightened. Reinstall the
oil pressure sending unit and tighten securely. |
| |
Install the 1/8 NPT end of the 36
inch flexible oil pressure line to the forward pointing side of the pipe tee. Route the
oil line over the top of the engine next to the cam belt cover. Secure the hose to the
block at two locations using the straps provided. Continue the line over the alternator. |
| |
Replace the fan mounting studs in
the water pump hub with the four M6 x 37.5 studs. |
| |
Install the original water
temperature sending unit into he threaded hole on the underside of the manifold beneath
the thermostat opening. Install the thermostat and thermostat housing adapter onto the
inlet manifold using the supplied gasket. Secure with two M8 x 40 bolts, 5/16 flat
washers, and 5/16 split washers. Install the original thermostat housing to the adapter
with its original bolts, using the supplied gasket. Install the heater hose fitting into
the rear of the manifold. |
| |
Install the intake manifold using a
new inlet manifold gasket and the original bolts except the most forward upper location.
Here use the M8 x 80 bolt, flat washer and lock washer supplied in the kit. Tighten to
factory specifications. |
| |
Reconnect the electrical connector
to the temperature sending unit. |
| |
If a boost gauge is to be used,
install the tubing fitting into the 1/8 NPT port at the top rear of the manifold. Plug
this port if a vacuum/boost gauge is not installed. Install the 1/8 NAT x 3/16 straight
hose fitting in the tapped hole in the side of the rear manifold runner. This will be for
the vacuum advance. |
| |
Cut the “S” shaped heater
hose in the middle and use the ½ inch union to extend the hose to reach outlet on the
rear of the manifold. Use hose clamps supplied along with originals. |
| |
Install the “O” ring in
the grove around the intake port of the manifold. A light coating of Permatex®
#3 or other tacky gasket cement will assure that the “O” ring stays in place
during assembly. |
| |
Remove the protective tape from the
bottom port of the supercharger. Make certain that the gasket surface is clean. Install
four 3/8-16 x 5½ bolts and flat washers into the counter-bored holes at the front and
rear of the supercharger. |
|
Note:
Apply thread sealant to the bolts to prevent coolant leakage. Gradually tighten the
mounting bolts to a final torque of 18 ft-lbs. Check for smooth turning of the
supercharger pulley. Any binding may indicate that the manifold surface has warped or that
foreign material has become lodged between the supercharger and manifold. |
| |
Install the ¼ inch flare-nut
end-fitting of the oil pressure line into the tee fitting at the lower front end of the
supercharger. |
| |
Install the 3/8 i.d. x 9 inch
flexible oil drain hose between the hose fitting at the bottom of the blower and the oil
return fitting on the oil pan. Clamp each end of the hose securely using the supplied
clamps. |
| |
Install the carburetor adapter to
the blower using four ¼-20 x 1 inch bolts with ¼ inch flat and split washers. Both types
of washers must be placed under the heads of the of the carburetor adapter bolts in order
to prevent damage to the supercharger rotors. Install the four 5/16 carburetor studs into
the carburetor adapter. Install the ¼ NPT x 3/8 straight hose into the side port of the
adapter. Install the power brake hose on this fitting. Install the PVC in the port of the
carburetor adapter. The front port on the adapter is for an additional vacuum source if
needed. If not needed, plug this port. |
| |
Install the carburetor gasket and
carburetor using four 5/16-24 nuts. tighten nuts uniformly. Install the fuel line. |
| |
Install the fan, fan shroud, and
radiator using the fan spacer provided. Some trimming of the shroud and the fan blade tips
will be required to clear the supercharger drive pulley. |
| |
Install the top and bottom radiator
hoses. Clamp each end securely. |
| |
Fill the cooling system and check
for leaks. |
| |
Hook up the throttle linkage. |
| |
Reconnect the battery. Install
accessory V-belts and tension according to factory specifications. |
| |
Start engine and adjust the
carburetor for a smooth fast idle. Allow the engine to run for about 15 minutes to ensure
that lubricating oil has circulated through the supercharger. Check for oil and coolant
leaks. |
| |
Shut the engine off. Install the
supercharger drive belt and adjust the tension with the idler pulley contacting the slack
(bottom) strand of the belt. Visually line up the idler pulley so that it is centered on
the belt. Verify that a clearance of at least 1/32 inch exists between the idler arm and
the back of the pulley. The belt is tensioned properly when a 20 pound force applied
mid-span on the tension strand of the belt results in a deflection of ½ inch. |
| |
Start the engine. Readjust the
carburetor for the correct idle speed. Check the supercharger drive pulleys and belt to
make certain that they are running true and there is no visible wobble. |
| |
Install a suitable air-cleaner and
secure any loose wires or hoses to tidy up the now competed installation.
