6.
Attach all vacuum lines, linkages, and return springs.
Check for smooth throttle operation from idle to WOT
(Wide Open Throttle) and for a positive return to idle.
Note:
When testing electric choke carburetors, make
sure to hold choke to full open position.
7.
Locate the fuel filter in a position that does not interfere
with the air cleaner or any linkage parts and can be
supported using the shortest length of fuel hose
possible.(*)
8.
Cut OEM fuel line in the selected location using either a
hacksaw or tubing cutter. It is easier to make the cut if
you first remove the fuel line from the vehicle (after
marking the place to be cut).(*)
9.
Make sure that you file and remove the burrs from the
rough cut end of the steel line. Also be sure to
thoroughly clean out all filings and metal particles from
the line.(*)
10.
Install the Edelbrock special brass hose fitting
completely over the OEM steel fuel line
(see
illustration)
and securely tighten the compression
unit. Use tubing wrenches if possible to avoid rounding
the hex nut.(*)
11.
Position the fuel filter as close as possible to the above
noted special brass fuel line fitting.
Note:
The filter
must face the correct direction. The filter end marked
“IN” must face the fuel pump.(*)
12.
Cut the proper length of the fuel hose supplied in this
kit to connect the filter to the brass adapter fitting.
13.
Install one clamp on each end of this hose and securely
push the fuel hose onto the filter and fuel line. Make
certain that the hose is completely installed on each
fitting before tightening the screw-type worm clamp.
CAUTION:
Do not over-tighten the clamps or you may
cut into the fuel line and cause a leak.(*)
14.
Correctly route the attaching hose from the outlet end
of the fuel filter to the inlet fitting of your Edelbrock
Performer Series carburetor. Make certain that there
are no sharp bends or kinks in this fuel line. Also, check
to make certain that when the carburetor air cleaner is
installed, it does not pinch or interfere with the fuel line
hose. If the straight inlet fitting on your carburetor
creates an interference problem, use Air Cleaner Spacer
#8092 to raise the air cleaner 3/8" for clearance, or
replace this fitting with an Edelbrock #8089 Banjo
fitting. This will allow the fuel hose to be located tightly
along the side of the carburetor to obtain the necessary
clearance beneath the air cleaner.(*)
15.
Cut the fuel hose to the proper length between the fuel
filter and the carburetor. Install this hose using the
remaining two worm-type hose clamps.
CAUTION:
Do not over-tighten the clamps or you may
cut into the fuel line and cause a leak.(*)
16. Start the engine and check for any fuel leaks
before installing the air cleaner. Correct any
leaks and re-install the air cleaner before
operating vehicle.
