Edelbrock 1207 Installation Instructions

Please study these instructions carefully before installing your new Air Cleaner Assemblies. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to
contact our Technical Hotline at: (800) 416-8628 from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, Pacific Standard Time.
DESCRIPTION: Edelbrock Air Cleaner Assemblies - Due to the many different applications of the Edelbrock air filters, some modifications
maybe required.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Install suitable air horn gasket and carburetor stud (not supplied) on carburetor(s)
and place air cleaner base over carburetor.
2. For single carb models with dual carb tops, thread the special bracket on the carb
stud until the two studs protrude through the top of the air cleaner by about 1/2".
Bracket must be positioned to clear carburetor choke linkage and choke plate.
3. Install filter and air cleaner lid, checking for clearance between the carb stud and
lid. Trim carb stud, if necessary. For carburetors with tall bowl vent tubes, it may
be necessary to purchase Edelbrock air cleaner spacer #8092. Vent tube to air
cleaner clearance should be no less than 1/8".
Note: To prevent possible hood damage, check for proper hood clearance using
clay cones as seen in Figure #1. Don't shut the hood without checking
clearance first!
CRANKCASE VENTILATION:
Some applications may require a Crankcase Ventilation Adapter #1205 (sold separately) that
mounts to the lower side of the air cleaner per the recess seen in Figure #2. This Crankcase
Ventilation Adapter can be purchased at your local Edelbrock retailer.
1. If you wish to use the crankcase ventilation adapter, drill two ¼" bolt holes (A) in the
recessed area at the rear of the air cleaner base, then drill a few ¼" holes (B) in the larger
recess window to allow the fitting to breath (See Figure #2). Bolt the fitting to the base
with the ¼" nuts, bolts, and washers included with #1205. Be sure to de-burr drilled holes
before installing the adapter.
2. Check for clearance between linkages and the ventilation adapter and rotate the air cleaner base as necessary.
MAINTENANCE:
Some air cleaner assemblies have a pre-oiled gauze element, that can be cleaned and re-oiled as needed to improve its air flow. Simply
wash the element in hot soapy water and allow to dry, then apply a light aerosol oil. Replacement pre-oiled gauze elements (Edelbrock
#1220) are available through your dealer. Replacement knurled nuts for Elite Series Oval Air Cleaners are available as Edelbrock #4219. The
gauze elements are dark in color when shipped and the paper elements are white in color. Do not attempt to wash the paper type elements.
