DESCRIPTION: Because of the current high demand for multiple carburetion, Edelbrock has introduced the three two-barrel manifold #5417 for
small-block Chevrolets equipped with Vortec style cylinder heads. This manifold is primarily designed for street rod applications. Please note
"Brackets" section below for your particular installation. (NOTE: HEI distributors will not fit. Stock point-type distributors may require re-phasing
to provide adequate clearance for ignition timing adjustment.)
• EGR SYSTEMS: Intake manifold will not accept stock EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) equipment. EGR systems are used on most 1972 and
later model vehicles. Check local laws for requirements.
• OIL FILL TUBE: This manifold requires a 1 1/4" OD Oil fill tube such as Edelbrock P/N 4803 or comparable.
• ACCESSORIES & INSTALLATION ITEMS: Major recommendations are listed below. See our catalog for details. To order a catalog, call
(800) FUN-TEAM, or visit www.edelbrock.com.
• CARBURETOR RECOMMENDATIONS:
CAUTION: Use only small 2 GC Rochester carburetors. For carburetors, linkage and fuel lines, we recommend that you contact Automotion
Rochester Carburetor Service, 837- 36th Avenue Northeast, Great Falls, MT, 59404- (406) 453-5395 (phone and fax).
CARBURETOR (Qty. 3)
Rochester 2GC Type (2bbl)
A - Carburetor will work with non-EGR or pre-emission control systems.
I - Carburetor has no provisions for evaporative canister.
• THROTTLE & ACCESSORY BRACKETS: The throttle and kickdown bracket on some vehicles may require modification to fit. This manifold
will not accept any alternator bracket assembly which mounted to the OEM manifold (check with aftermarket suppliers of alternator brackets
such as B&M, Mr. Gasket, TD Performance Products, etc.). It has no provision for ignition coil, and will accept front (early style) oil filler tube.
Valve covers with adequate ventilation provisions are required (PCV valve and breather recommended).
• GASKETS: Do not use competition style intake gaskets for this street manifold as material deterioration can occur over time causing internal
leakage of vacuum, oil, and coolant.
