INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1) Use only recommended intake gaskets set when installing

this intake manifold. For ease of installation, we
recommend Edelbrock Intake Manifold Bolt & Washer Kit

#8569.

2) Fully clean the cylinder head intake flanges and the engine

block end seal surfaces.

3) Apply Edelbrock Gasgacinch sealant P/N 9300 to both

cylinder head flanges and to the cylinder head side of the

gaskets, allow to air dry, and attach the intake gaskets.

4) Do not use cork or rubber end seals. Use RTV silicone

sealer instead. Apply a ¼" high bead across each block
end seal surface, overlapping the intake gasket at the four

corners. This method will eliminate end seal slippage.

5) Install the intake manifold and hold-down bolts. Torque all

of the manifold bolts in two steps by the sequence shown
in Figure 1 to 25 ft/lbs.
