Instalation Notes:
Recommended intake gasket: Edelbrock #7235; Manifold ht: A-3.87", B-5.28"; Carb pad height: 4.57"; Carb recommendations: OEM 4-Bbl (pre-1981, Electric choke ONLY) Use #8032 throttle bracket. Edelbrock AVS2 Series or Performer Series 500-650cfm, use bracket #8032 for 1972-78.; Port exit dimensions: 2.05" tall with slanted side walls; Use RTV sealant to properly seal end seals, such as Edelbrock High Temp Silicone sealant #1076, DO NOT USE END SEALS GASKETS.; Sealant must be used on intake bolt threads if the threads extend into lifter valley or coolant passage.; NPT/Pipe thread fittings require the use of Teflon tape or paste on threads to ensure proper seal.; DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN NPT/Pipe fittings, this may cause the aluminum to crack around the fitting boss. NPT/Pipe thread is a tapered thread.; Hardened washers Must be used with intake bolts to ensure proper torque and prevent galling of the aluminum.; Stock brackets will require modification to fit the upright manifold bolt holes.; Will not fit under stock Corvette hood.; Even though manifolds are compatible with EGR systems, this does not mean they are legal for use on emissions controlled vehicles. Check local laws for legality.; Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation will void your warranty and may result in poor performance and engine or vehicle damage.
