BEFORE REMOVING OLD CARBURETOR
Determine if the distributor vacuum port is timed (no vacuum
1.
at idle) or full (vacuum present at idle). With the engine at
operating temperature and idling, pull the vacuum advance hose
off of the carburetor and "feel" for vacuum by putting your finger
on the vacuum port (See Fig. 2). If
your distributor has timed vacuum
advance, you will hook the vacuum
hose from the distributor to the
passenger side vacuum port on
the new carburetor. If it has full
vacuum advance, it will be hooked
up to the driver side port.
2. The stock steel fuel line must be modified to accommodate a
rubber fuel hose as the stock steel line will not connect directly to
the Performer Series Carburetor. The use of the Edelbrock Universal
Fuel Line Kit #8135 is highly recommended. #8135 contains a fuel
filter, rubber fuel hose, and fittings to adapt to 5/16" or 3/8" stock
steel fuel lines (See Fig. 3). NOTE: #1405 and #1406 carburetors
are supplied with a fuel filter. If using #8135 on these carburetors,
the filter included in #8135 can be saved for later use.
WARNING: DO NOT slide the rubber fuel hose directly onto the steel
fuel line, proper fuel fittings must be used to avoid fuel leaks. Be
sure to deburr and clean the stock steel fuel line after modification.

WARNING: The use of a new fuel filter (included with #1405 and
3.
#1406) between the fuel pump and carburetor is required. Failure
to do so will void the manufacture's warranty of the carburetor.

Line Kit #2697 when installing a Performer Series carburetor on a
General Motors Quadrajet or Chrysler Thermoquad intake manifold.
#2697 includes adapter #2696 and fuel line kit #8135. Do not use
an open adapter (See Fig. 4).

Performer Series carburetor on certain Edelbrock intake manifolds.
In those applications, install the adapter as shown (See Fig. 5).
