BANKS POWERPACK ® SYSTEM FORD 460 EFI TRUCK
Dear Customer:
Your new Banks system is a unique combination of air intake and
exhaust components designed to make the most of your engine’s
power potential. By removing intake and exhaust restrictions,
providing cooler intake air, and tuning the exhaust to create a
scavenging effect, your engine can produce more power at a higher
level of efficiency. If your driving habits remain the same, your fuel
mileage should go up, and you can run on the same octane fuel
you are accustomed to using. If you have any questions concerning
the installation of the Banks PowerPack kit, please call Gale Banks
Engineering at (626) 969-9600 between 8:00 am & 5:00 pm (PT) and
ask for the customer service department.
Thank you.
PREPARATION AND PRECAUTIONS
1.
For ease of installation of your Banks
PowerPack ® Stinger ® or TorqueTube ®
system, familiarize yourself with the procedure by
reading the entire manual before starting work. This
manual contains 20 pages of copy, illustrations and
parts listing. If any pages are missing from this
manual please call Gale Banks Engineering
immediately for a replacement.
2.
The exploded view of the PowerPack
assembly provides only general guidance.
Refer to each step and section diagram in this
manual for proper instruction.
3.
Throughout this manual, the left side of the
vehicle refers to the driver’s side, and the
right side to the passenger’s side.
4.
Disconnect the ground cable from the
battery before beginning work. If there are
two batteries, disconnect both.
5.
Route and tie wires and hoses a minimum
of 6 inches away from exhaust heat, moving
parts and sharp edges. Clearance of 8 inches or
more is recommended where possible.
6.
The front of your vehicle should be raised a
minimum of 5-6 inches to allow the
installation of Banks TorqueTube exhaust manifolds.
If you have access to a hoist, the vehicle can be
elevated and the front wheels removed for easiest
access.
7.
When raising the vehicle, support it on
properly weight-rated safety stands, ramps or
a commercial hoist. Follow the manufacturer’s safety
precautions. Take care to balance the vehicle to
prevent it from slipping or falling. When using ramps,
be sure the front wheels are centered squarely on
the topsides; put the transmission in park; set the
hand brake; and place blocks behind the rear wheels.
Caution! Do not use floor jacks to support the
vehicle while working under it. Do not raise the
vehicle onto concrete blocks, masonry or any other
item not intended specifically for this use.
8.
During installation, keep the work area
clean. If foreign debris is transferred to any
Banks PowerPack component, clean it thoroughly
before installing.

The Banks Ram-Air Filter comes pre-
oiled and no oiling is necessary for initial
