PRE-INSTALLATION
Before installing the induction system, take the following steps to ensure successful installation and performance:
1. Check all components thoroughly for damage.
2. Make sure all throttle linkages open entirely and close freely.
3. Make sure all fuel inlet and vacuum ports are free from packing material.
4. Check the installation kit for proper parts.
REMOVING THE STOCK CARBURETOR AND MANIFOLD
1. Disconnect battery.
2. For ease of installation, keep all parts in order.
CAUTION: Do not remove manifold if engine is hot.
3. Drain the radiator coolant.
4. Remove gas cap to relieve pressure. Disconnect fuel line and plug. Replace gas cap.
5. Disconnect all linkage from carburetor such as throttle, throttle springs, transmission, cruise control and automatic choke.
6. Tag and remove coil wires and sensor wires.
7. Remove previously marked vacuum lines.
8. Remove radiator hose, thermostat housing and thermostat, if mounted on manifold.
9. Remove all brackets from the manifold.
10. Loosen or remove valve cover bolts for manifold removal and replacement. It may be necessary to replace valve cover
gaskets, if broken, to prevent oil leakage.
PORT SURFACE CLEANING
When cleaning old gaskets from head surfaces, lay rags in the lifter valley and stuff
paper into the ports, to prevent pieces of the old gasket from falling into ports and
combustion chambers. When clean, remove paper, making sure that all particles fall
on the rags in the lifter valley. Remove rags, and wipe surfaces clean with rags
soaked in lacquer thinner in order to remove oil or grease.
NOTE: This procedure is necessary to ensure proper sealing.
INSTALLING FITTINGS, PIPE PLUGS, AND STUDS
Do not over-tighten or cross-thread fittings, pipe plugs, studs, or bolts in your
aluminum manifold. Damage to threads or a cracked mounting boss may result
unless caution is used when installing accessories.
Use high quality pipe thread sealant on all threads. Install fittings from your stock manifold.
