Section 5

A. Your Paxton Automotive NOVI 1000 super-

charger uses pressurized engine oil for lubri-

cation. Use an oil sending unit socket (Snap-

On tools; part number 6152 or equivalent) to

remove the oil sending unit on the underside

of the oil filter housing (see Fig 5-a). Install

the supplied brass junction fitting using a

small amount of Teflon paste. DO NOT

USE TEFLON TAPE. Once installed, the

junction fitting should be oriented so that

the opening faces toward the front of the car.

Fig. 5-a

B. Install the oil sending unit in the end of the

brass junction. Install the 90 degree 1/8-inch

to -4 fitting into the side of the brass junc-

tion, and orient this fitting to face towards

the driver’s side frame rail. Attach the sup-

plied length of braided stainless steel feed

line, and route upwards to the 90 degree fit-

ting on the supercharger.

***NOTE***

Be sure to stay clear of any moving parts or coolant

hoses (engine vibration can cause the stainless line

to chafe the rubber coolant hose, creating a leak over

time). Install the line, and tighten moderately—no

sealant is required. (See Fig. 5-b.)

C. Mark the front of the oil pan 1" inch below

the pan rail and between the the two pan rail

bolts, directly in the center of the small

‘hump’. (See Appendix G.) Cover a 3/16-

inch drill bit with heavy grease and drill a

pilot hole (see Fig. 5-c). The grease will

help prevent metal particles from falling into

the pan. Once the hole has been drilled,

insert a straight length of welding rod or

heavy wire (such as a coat hanger) into the

hole approximately three inches to make

sure no interference is encountered. If the

path is blocked, turn the engine over until

the pathway is clear.
