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 a 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.
Will not fit under stock Corvette hood.
Stock brackets will require modification to fit the upright manifold bolt holes. Use Edelbrock Vortec throttle bracket # 8032.
Edelbrock does not recommend the use of an economy type carburetor such as the Performer series # 1406 or # 1411 on Performer RPM Intake Manifolds. Economy type carburetors are calibrated lean for fuel economy and will not perform properly on this style of intake.
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.
