• DESCRIPTION: The Edelbrock Super Victor 29565 EFI intake manifold holds all the same features as a 2956 manifold,
with the addition of machined vertical injector bosses. The bosses are located on top of the runners for optimum fuel
injector location. The 2956 manifold was designed for Pontiac 389-455 engines, which are used in racing applications,
and operating between 3500 and 7500 rpm. This intake manifold is designed to use Fuel Rail Kit #3634, which must be
purchased separately.
Note: This manifold is not intended, nor legal, for street use on pollution-controlled vehicles. It is the
responsibility of the end-user to verify conformity to a particular racing association's rule regarding manifold
dimensions, aligning to a template, etc.
• ACCESSORIES & INSTALLATION ITEMS: Major recommendations are listed below. However, due to the variety of
applications, additional equipment may be required for your specific vehicle than mentioned in these instructions.
• Throttle Body Recommendations: Edelbrock #3879 (GM IAC) or #38793 (Edelbrock/MotoTron IAC) Throttle Body
Note: Some applications may benefit from a one-inch carburetor spacer, such as Edelbrock #8718. See our catalog for
details. To order a catalog, call (800) FUN-TEAM.
• Fuel Rail Kit: Edelbrock #3634 - Super Victor Pontiac Fuel Rail Kit
Kit includes the following:
K 2 - Machined fuel rail extrusions (fuel rail ends tapped for 3/8" pipe)
K 4 - Tall version fuel rail bracket stands (2.65" injector o-ring spacing)
K 4 - Short version fuel rail bracket stands (1.5" injector o-ring spacing) K 4 - 1/4" Lock washers
K 4 - 1/4-20 x ½" Socket head bolts
• Injector Selection: It is important to select the appropriate electronic injectors for optimum performance. The injectors
must not only match the fuel demands of an engine, but they must also match the electronic capability of the engine control
unit (ECU). When installing the injectors onto the manifold, make sure that the O-rings of the injectors create a complete
seal to prevent any air or fuel leaks. The same precaution should be applied when assembling the injectors to the fuel
rails. Use assembly lube on O-rings when installing injectors. Brake assembly lube works well.
• Power Options: Although this manifold will work with ported factory cast iron heads, we highly recommend the use of
either our #60579 or our #60599 Performer Pontiac cylinder heads. These heads offer higher airflow levels with minimum
preparation required. See our catalog for details.
• Prep and Tuning for Power: Optimum cylinder head port opening size should be as close as possible to the size of the
gasket being used. Port-match the manifold exits .020" per side smaller than either the gasket being used or the cylinder
head port opening, whichever is smaller.
