I have a strange situation. Ever since my supercharger install, the 90* oil fitting on top of the blower has been arcing with my hood! What is causing this? static electricity?

Is your hood still grounded? Add a ground strap (made from wire and eyelets) to help.

Either check for a hood ground strap, if there is one, change the fitting to brass

Probably from the belt creating static.
