 If you are using a new carburetor, make sure you have read and understand the installation instructions for that carburetor
and that the initial adjustments are within the manufacturer ’s specifications.
 Before removing your old intake manifold, make sure that your ignition system is in good working order; check and note the
current ignition timing. Make sure that the timing marker is legible and understandable. With the engine at top dead center
on the #1 cylinder, note and mark the orientation of the distributor body to the engine and the orientation of the rotor to the
distributor body. This will aid in the re-installation of the distributor. Consult these installation instructions and your vehicles
shop manual for specific instructions.
 Before removing your old intake manifold check the adjustment of your automatic transmission kick-down linkage to make
sure it is adjusted properly. Consult your shop manual and make sure that you understand the kick-down linkage
adjustment and how to properly adjust it when you install your new intake manifold.
 Before removing your old intake manifold check all of your fuel, water, and vacuum hoses and their connections. Make
sure that there are no leaks and that the hoses are in good condition. Mark the locations of your hoses making sure that
there is a corresponding location on your new intake manifold for all of the hose fittings and gauge sensors. Fitting and
hoses that are not in good condition should be replaced.
