Make sure the fuel hose, throttle and choke cables are not rubbing on any sharp edges or being stretched or damaged by engine rock.

72. Reinstall the front apron and bumper. Remember to reconnect the electrical connections for the headlights and turn signals.

73. Test drive the vehicle. Check for detonation or pinging. If any detonation occurs, retard the timing in 2 degree increments until it is completely gone.

74. The base supercharger kit with the 5.87” crank pulley and the 2.67” supercharger pulley should produce 5 to 6 psi of intake manifold pressure or “boost”. This is on a stock 2.1L (86mm ) with a stock exhaust manifold. If you have the smaller 2.0L (83mm pistons) and no engine or exhaust modifications you will probably have more boost. If you have a larger pistons, and or exhaust manifolds you will have less boost. Simply adding a header and large diameter exhaust may cause the boost to drop 1 psi or more. This does not mean you are loosing horse power, it just means the engine is breathing better. We offer a “big boost” supercharger pulley for those who wish to run more boost.

Converting your Triumph from Positive to Negative Ground

1. If you have an original radio, remove it. It will no longer work with negative ground.

2. If you have an ammeter, you’ll need to reverse the wires connected to it.

3. Some may have a diode across the points rather than a condenser. Reverse the connections to the diode.

4. Reverse the connections going to the : Connect the (-) side of the coil to the wire going to the distributor and the (+) side of the coil to the wire going to the ignition switch.

5. Reverse the connections to the heater fan motor. If you don’t, the fan motor will rotate backwards.

That’s it! It is not necessary to change the leads at the starter motor. The starter uses a series-wound motor that will always rotate the correct way with either polarity.
