INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
®
PLEASE study these instructions carefully before beginning this installation. Most installations can be accomplished with common tools and
procedures. However, you should be familiar with and comfortable working on your vehicle. If you do not feel comfortable performing this installation,
it is recommended to have the installation completed by a qualified mechanic. If you have any questions, please call our Technical Hotline at:
1-800-416-8628, 7:00 am - 5:00 pm, Pacific Standard Time, Monday through Friday or e-mail us at [email protected].
IMPORTANT NOTE: 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.
DESCRIPTION: Edelbrock Victor Series Billet Aluminum 160 & 170 GPH Fuel Pumps are for high performance race or street/strip use where there is
a demand for high volume fuel delivery. These pumps are compatible with alcohol and gasoline fuels. They have been thoroughly tested and proven
to have flow capacity significantly greater than other popular mechanical fuel pumps used for race and street/strip applications.
NOTE: For race vehicles using alcohol based fuel - Although pumps are compatible with alcohol fuels, it is recommended to flush your fuel
system with gasoline after every use. Alcohol is corrosive to many other parts of the fuel system.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Installation of the fuel pump is the same as for OEM pumps. The 170 GPH pumps should be installed using the supplied bolts and washers. Use the
copper washers against the fuel pump body, and the split washers against the bolt heads. The 160 GPH pumps can be installed be reusing stock
hardware. If uncertain of the procedure to follow for your particular vehicle, consult the appropriate repair manual for your model vehicle. Note that
the fuel inlet and outlet of the Victor Billet 170 GPH Fuel Pump is much larger than original equipment (5/8-18). The Victor Billet 160 GPH Fuel Pump
uses 3/8” NPT fittings, a variety of which are available from Russell. See next page for instructions on re-positioning the pump body for fuel line
clearance.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
• 170 GPH pump inlet and outlet ports are tapped to 5/8-18; 160 GPH pumps are tapped to 3/8” NPT. Use the appropriate adapter
fittings to connect to your fuel system
(Two -8AN to 5/8-18 adapter fittings are supplied with 170 GPH pumps. See “Additional
Fittings Available” section above for additional fittings if necessary).
• For off-road or race applications, we recommend the use of a dust-shield between fuel pump and the nearest wheel, to prevent dirt or
debris from plugging the pump vent hole.
• 170 GPH Fuel Pumps have an output fuel pressure of 8.5-9 psi. An external fuel pressure regulator is IS REQUIRED in most cases.
Edelbrock recommends the use of our regulators # 1727, or 8192. 160 GPH pumps have an output pressure of 6-6.25 psi and will
not need an external regulator in most applications. See catalog for more details.
• On some 351-W Ford engines there may be casting flash on the front cover which will interfere with proper seating of your new fuel
pump. File this area flat for proper gasket seating.
