*** NOTE ***
Due to the many possible configurations of intake
manifolds (with regard to carburetor flange height) a
carburetor spacer may be required to obtain the nec-
essary height for proper supercharger and discharge
duct alignment. If hood interference is a problem, a
lower profile intake manifold may be required.
A. Install the carburetor enclosure included in
this kit by first relieving the fuel pressure in
the system.
B. Remove the carburetor from the intake man-
ifold and thoroughly clean the intake mani-
fold carburetor flange. Remove any throttle
linkage brackets from the intake manifold.
C. Thread the four supplied carburetor flange
studs into the intake manifold and install one
of the supplied gaskets.
*** NOTE ***
If possible, connect the PCV valve hose to a vacuum
source on the intake manifold. If no source is avail-
able, connect to the 1/4"NPT hole in back of the
enclosure.
D. Install the lower part of the carburetor enclo-
sure over the studs until it sits flat on the
intake manifold.
E. Install the other carburetor gasket over the
studs until it sits flat on the carburetor enclo-
sure carburetor mounting surface.
F. With the carburetor in a suitable work area,
bend the damper tab on the main throttle
arm (if equipped) until it is flat. (See Figs.
8-a, 8-b, 8-c .)
G. Install the throttle nut through the large hole
on the outside of the throttle arm. Using a
10-24 cap screw inserted through a rod end
and the #10 fender washer, thread into the
throttle nut and tighten. (See Figs. 8-d, 8-e.)
