CARBURETOR REMOVAL (Continuation)

7.

Remove mounting nuts or bolts and or washers. Be sure to put them where they won't fall into the intake

manifold upon carburetor removal.

8.

Remove carburetor, being careful not to spill any dirt into the intake manifold. Immediately place a clean

rag into the manifold to keep foreign objects out.

9.

Thoroughly remove old mounting gasket and clean mounting surface.

CARBURETOR PREPARATION

1.

Install throttle adapter bracket on throttle arm (see Figure 2).

2.

Place old and new carburetors side by side and transfer any accessories that are needed onto the new

carburetor.

CARBURETOR INSTALLATION

1. Remove rag from intake manifold and install new mounting studs supplied in kit. The two longer studs will go

towards the front. Install new gasket spacer and carburetor base. NOTE: Do not use any cement, glue or

liquid gaskets.

2.

Carefully place new carburetor over studs and onto base gasket.

3.

Install all mounting nuts and washers. Hand-tighten with a short box end wrench, using even increments

alternating between diagonally opposed bolts. CAUTION: Over tightening may break carburetor base.

FUEL LINE CONNECTION

1.

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).

2.

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.

3.

Install the Edelbrock special brass hose fitting completely over the OEM steel fuel line (see Figure 1) and

securely tighten the compression unit. Use tubing wrenches if possible to avoid rounding the hex nut.

4.

Install brass adapter fitting in carburetor.

5.

Cut the proper length of the fuel hose supplied in this kit to connect the compression fitting to the brass

adapter fitting in the carburetor.

6.

Install one clamp on each end of this hose and securely push the fuel hose onto the compression fitting and

brass adapter fitting in the carburetor. 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.

Models with externally mounted fuel filters, install new fuel filter, starting threads by hand to avoid crossing or stripping

threads. Replace any old or cracked hoses with new hoses designed for use with fuel. Note: If externally mounted fuel

filter has 3/8" barbed outlet, that may be used in place of the fuel line compression fitting as an attachment point for the

fuel hose to the carburetor.

CHOKE WIRE INSTALLATION

Electric choke carburetor #1905 requires a 12-volt

lead that is hot only when the ignition is “On”. Use

volt meter to locate suitable source of electric

power. Splice the wire with plastic connector

(supplied) into this connection, then plug

connector

i

nto carburetor electric choke. Do not use 12-volt

coil wire.
