Regal Supercharger Question (something Bill would probably know)

Hey guys had a question concerning the 97 Regal supercharger/vacuum setup. On the 97 regal that i have, on the driverside front corner of the supercharger there is a little vacuum tree. below it says it is a manifold vacuum source. my grand prix does not have the tree at all. it has the spot for it like it could be there but is just casted from the factory without it.
my question is; i want to sell the top swap off of it. so how would someone buying this from me integrate it if buying it for a grand prix or something else with a different vacuum setup?

if a real picture is needed i can get one later on when i get home. but somebody on here will probably already know what i am talking about.

They can swap the trees from a year specific blower, or...what most people do is cap the vac sources that aren't needed.

Easy as that.
 
All 96 and 97 SC motors had that tree. They'd either cap the branches on the tree and run with the 98+ diagram or use the diagram you supplied.

You can not remove or swap the tree. The guy that writes that... is smoking Cobalt fumes. lol
 


haha yeah i was going towards the capping part. i was about to say.. uhhh you can't swap that tree haha
thanks for the quick responses guys
 
I told you I never gave a care.

Duh.

Plus, you gotta be smart and get that '98+ stuff. It's betters.
 
FWIW.. the 98 is no better than the 97. The 96 charger body was coated the same as the snout and had the tree. 97 went to only snout coated with tree. 98+ only snout coated and no tree.
 


They deemed the M90 Gen 3 efficient enough that they didn't need a coating to reduce heat. The M62 Gen 3 first got the coating (as far as blowers on GM 3800's) and it also got coated rotors. Before that. the M62 was a horrible heat mess.
