13. INTAKE PREPARATIONS
With fuel lines out of the way, scrape remaining intake gaskets
off of cylinder heads and scrape both end seals clean. With
surfaces clean, install intake gaskets to cylinder heads. Use GM
gaskets #10181398. Apply gasket sealant to gaskets on surface
facing heads only. Glue gaskets in place.
While gaskets set-up, place the new manifold next to the old
manifold. You will need to swap certain parts like the distributor
hold down clamp and bolt, EGR valve and on some models, a
vacuum fitting located at the right rear of throttle body pad.
When re-installing the EGR valve on the new manifold, notice that
it is relocated up near the thermostat area. The EGR mounting
pad is drilled for the different EGR valves used from year to year.
We provide a gasket that will accommodate all EGR valves.
Determine which EGR bolt holes are to be used and install your
old studs and EGR valve onto manifold.
For models equipped with a power brake vacuum booster, you
will need to install the 1/2" NPT-to-1/2" barbed 90-degree
fitting. This will be used later in the installation for your vacuum
supply relocation. This fitting goes on the rear of the throttle
body pad.
NOTE: If any of the holes in the manifold are not used, plug them
with the pipe plugs supplied and always use Teflon sealant or
equivalent when installing fittings and plugs (does not apply to
unused EGR pad holes).
NOTE: On early models (1987-1990), the cruise control vacuum
diaphragm bracket is mounted directly on the intake manifold.
For these models, it is necessary to relocate this assembly. Using
GM part #14056623, mount this bracket to the left rear cylinder
head. Install your diaphragm assembly to this bracket.
NOTE: It is easier to install this bracket before manifold is
installed on engine.
14. MANIFOLD INSTALLATION
Before installing the manifold, make sure all ports and the valley
of the engine are clean. Apply a 1/8" bead of 02 sensor safe
silicone around the four water ports on the engine. Apply a 1/4"
bead of silicone on the two end seal areas of the engine block.
Install the intake
manifold onto the
engine, be careful to
set it down as
straight as possible.
Do not set down and
slide into place.
Install your stock
intake manifold
bolts in the same
locations that they were removed from. The bolts with studs
need to be in certain holes for the brackets.
If your vehicle has the cast iron base for the bracket which came
off the rear of the alternator and idler pulley, you will need to
install it at this time.
Note: Some grinding on the bracket ears and on the rear of the
bracket, where it makes the bend, may be required.
It is
important to make sure the bracket sets onto the manifold
squarely to avoid damage to the bracket and manifold.
