3.2 When you are done with your trial fit-
ting of the flat idler pulley bracket, take
this flat bracket to a workbench and
install the two nylon idler pulleys using
the bolts and Nylock nuts provided. Make
sure that the bolt heads point towards the
rear of the car.
3.3 Secure the idler pulleys firmly to the
flat bracket. Proceed to install the idler
pulley assembly onto the car per the pro-
cedure practiced during the trial fitting.
The final assembly (minus the pulleys)
should look like figure 3.3.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Check the clearance between the small
coolant hose that runs from the base of
the thermostat housing and the passen-
ger side idler pulley. If the clearance is
less than ? inch between the hose and the pulley,
trim three quarters of an inch of length off of the
thermostat end of the small hose. Reinstall the
hose, reusing the spring clamp. By removing a
small piece of the hose end, the hose will be
pulled away from the idler pulley, avoiding any
damage during operation. This is a critical area
for attention since a hose failure could cause
severe engine damage. Not all cars need this
modification.
3.4 POWER STEERING CARS:
Spin the power
steering pump pulley until the nut on the main
pump mounting bolt is visible. Insert a socket
wrench (deep 14mm) here and hold the rear hex
head with a 14mm box wrench. Remove the nut.
(item “B” in figure 3.1).
VERY IMPORTANT:
MAKE SURE THAT THE DRIVER’S SIDE IDLER
PULLEY IS FREE TO SPIN. THE PINCH BOLT
THAT YOU INSTALL THROUGH THE PILLOW
BLOCK FROM THE REAR CAN INTERFERE
WITH THE BACKSIDE OF THE IDLER IF
INSTALLED INCORRECTLY (i.e. leaving out
the thick washer under the bolt’s head). TEST
THE ASSEMBLY BY TIGHTENING THE PINCH
BOLT FULLY AND SPINNING THE IDLER PUL-
LEY. USE ADDITIONAL WASHERS UNDER
THE PINCH BOLT’S HEAD IF NECESSARY.
3.5 Pick the flat steel supercharger bracket from
the kit and slip the non-slotted end over the
power steering bolt. Reinstall the power steering
pump nut with the flat bracket pinched between
the nut and the cast power steering pump bracket
that is on the engine. When finished, rotate the
power steering pump as far down as possible
(the pulley will touch the AC compressor pulley if
so equipped). This will allow room for the super-
charger to be installed and for the
belt to slip over the pulleys.
3.6 NON POWER STEERING
CARS: Locate your lower bracket
assembly from the kit. The end
with the small 90 degree bracket
mounts to the idler bracket (stan-
dard on AC equipped cars) or to
new idler bracket (supplied with kit
for non-AC, non-PS cars). Use the
new, longer 10mm bolt provided to
attach this bracket to the engine
(Review figure 3.4 for bolt loca-
tion).
