2. Can it still be done regularly, as needed,after the install.

Sounds like it can, which makes me relieved.

Now, to find an 8mm wrench, and maybe more brake fluid (only have 12 ounces)

You can bleed anything as much as you want as long as you have the fluid to replace it

Does anybody know the product number and way to order the coolant reservoir and bracket? I was thinking of adding that to my Harrop kit.

I emailed Edelbrock, and they gave me their phone number to call. I called and was on hold forever, so I did the callback. I played phone tag like three times where I missed their call then called them back, got on the list then four hours later I missed their call. There has to be an easier way.

Was referring to clearance and access. Due to the supercharger practically touching it.

According to my install manual,

Surge tank bracket 38-0360
Cap, surge tank 51-0154
Surge tank 51-1550
2 bolts m6 10mm, 36-1552

With the parts numbers in hand I would call their sales line. I bet they answer that a lot faster. I am passing by them this Friday so let me know if you have trouble and maybe I can rattle their cages a bit. Lol.

Thanks. I saw the bracket part number but not the other stuff. I must have been blind.

It's in the manual, but surprisingly the manual online is older than the physical one they mailed me, which really surprised me

Honestly don't know that (I will by Sunday or Monday) but if you look at the pics and from what others have posted, it's still doable with the SC on just a bigger PITA, I would imagine the hardest is securing a line to drain through but it could be just as hard or harder to get a tool on that bleeder.

That’s what I was looking at—the online one.

So last night I'm working on step 93 (installing LTR), thinking, "wow, this step was a lot easier than I was expecting, without having a second pair of hands".

And just as I thought that I was tightening one of the bolts and it snapped. So now the stud is broken off inside the OEM air conditioning condenser bracket.

Fortunately it's one of the bottom holes, so easier access.

Has this happened to anyone? I feel like an easy out screw extractor should work well since it's a tiny bolt, but haven't had the pleasure of needing one before... so, suggestions?

I got the order placed. Much faster.

No surprises there. Everyone wants to make money. Glad you got through.

Hi guys, I’m planning on purchasing this kit used through a reputable shop and will also having them install the kit as well. Just curious, how reliable has the kit been to you guys? Looking to do about 290-300whp with FF kit. Car is 2019 with about 13k miles as well

Without the head on the screw, just the act of drilling the pilot hole for an easy out may just drive it thru. You may even be able to get to the bolt from the back side if enough threads has poked thru and grab it with vice grip and "un-screw" it. Otherwise, time for some easy outs.
