Printing The Owners Manual original and this update were written in 5.5" by 8.5" format, the standard size for a Superformance Owners Manual. Your Owners Manual was scaled up to 8.5" by 11" when printed. To print this update in 8.5” by 11” size in Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat: 1. Click on File -> Print from the menu bar. 2. In the Print dialog box, set Page Scaling to Fit to Paper or Fit
to Printable Area and check Auto-rotate and Center. 3. Click on OK. Both sides of the updated pages are included in case you print double sided.
To bleed the brakes or replace the brake fluid, use a Mityvac®, Motive® or equivalent vacuum pump and follow the instructions provided with the pump. Remove the wheels first. There is a bleed valve on each brake caliper. NOTE: Any DOT 3 or DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 fluid can be used. DO NOT use DOT 5. See Brake Fluid Ratings page 120. CAUTION: Brake fluid is corrosive to paint. Use care not to spill fluid on the finish. Any spills should be immediately flushed away with fresh water. Do not overfill as it may cause fluid to leak out. BRAKE FLUID WARNING BUZZER: A low brake fluid level will cause a warning buzzer, behind the dashboard, to sound when switching on the ignition.
Clutch Fluid – Adding, Bleeding, and Replacing The clutch fluid is located in the remote reservoir on the firewall (Figure 54).
[Figure 54 – Clutch Master Cylinder]
To bleed the clutch or replace the clutch fluid, use a Mityvac®, Motive® or equivalent vacuum pump and follow the instructions provided with the pump. The bleed valve is on the clutch slave cylinder. Check the fluid level often and be careful not to suck all the fluid out of the clutch master cylinder as clearing the air is a difficult task.
Page 78
NOTE: Any DOT 3 or DOT 4 or DOT 5.1 fluid can be used. DO NOT use DOT 5. See Brake Fluid Ratings page 120.
NOTE: The clutch slave cylinder seals have a tendency to fail after several years. Consider replacing the slave cylinder every five years as preventative maintenance. If the fluid is black when bled, change the slave cylinder now.
CAUTION: Brake fluid is corrosive to paint. Use care not to spill fluid on the finish. Any spills should be immediately flushed away with fresh water. Do not overfill as it may cause fluid to leak out.
Engine Coolant The engine coolant is a 50/50 mixture of anti-freeze and water. The coolant should be filled at the header tank which is mounted on the front of the engine above the water pump. Coolant should be visible in the tank, but the tank should not be full.
Spark Plugs and Change Interval The type of spark plugs depends on the engine you have selected. Your engine provider should provide the spark plug specifications.
Plug type: ___________________________________ Plug change interval: Every __________ miles.
A reasonable spark plug replacement interval is every 12,000 for conventional spark plugs and every 50,000 miles for platinum and iridium spark plugs. Platinum and iridium plugs can last longer than 50,000 miles, but the risk of seizure in an aluminum head increases if they are left in longer. NOTE: When installing spark plugs in aluminum heads, coat the threads sparingly with anti-seize compound.
Ball Joints On cars from 32 to approximately 150, the ball joints were sealed and could not be lubricated. Later cars have screw in joints which can be lubricated. It is recommended that the cars with sealed ball

Wiring Diagrams 1900 On The Central Electrical Tray is located under the left hand side of the dash. The tray is hinged toward the front of the car and latched toward the rear. A loop and knob secure the tray. Remove the loop and the tray will swing down to expose the components. If your car has the Central Electrical Tray and the original version of the dashboard, use the diagrams for car number 1041 to 1899. If your car has the Central Electrical Tray and the new version of the dashboard, use the diagrams for car number 1900 on. The primary changes in wiring for cars from 1900 on are: Changes to Central Fuse Tray layout
o Main fuse type and location o Fuse Box layout o Dash dimmer moved to dimmer on switch
Later style dash layout with changes to switchgear and controls and heating and ventilation. See the new versions of the Dashboard Layout, pages 23 and 25. o The manual cooling fan switch is standard. The wiring for
the electric fuel pump is provided but not connected. o Electric windscreen washer o Dash light dimmer with Off position o Three speed heater blower with rotary switch o Heater/de-mister control via rotary switch
Change from bulb type to sealed beam type headlights. Side marker wiring. Extra wiring for Australian cars - seatbelt warning, center
stop light, side markers, emergency flashers. Several changes in wire colors

The wiring system has a number of harnesses and connections. The Central Electrical Tray Harness is the main harness. The other harnesses are connected to it as follows. Page numbers are in parenthesis. Harness Associated Connector Central Electrical Tray Harness (172) ......................................... All Instrument Panel Harness (202)..........28 Pin Dash Connector (189) Front Harness (173) .................... 28 Pin Bulkhead Connector (190) Rear Harness (174) ................. Rear Harness 6 Pin Connector (174) Rear Harness 4 Pin Connector (174) The wiring diagrams were first issued in August 2002 and last revised in October 2008. The wiring diagrams in this section are copyrighted by Canter’s Auto Electrical and are reproduced with permission. The Instrument Panel Harness wiring diagram was released 02-Jul-2008 by Hi-Tech Automotive. See Appendix B: Instrument Panel Harness. When removing any electrical component please note and record the wiring positions so that it can be correctly reinstalled. Because of continual running changes, the wiring in your car may vary somewhat from the wiring diagrams presented here. Detailed color coded wiring diagrams are available separately for each of the three electrical systems. See Additional Information page iv.
