Manifold height: A-3.72", B-4.92" (.27" taller than # 2101);
Carburetor pad height: 4.32"
Carburetor recommendations: Edelbrock AVS2 or Performer Series 500-650 cfm. Use Bracket # 8031 or # 8036 for 1972-78.
Camshaft Recommendations: Performer Plus #2102 and #2103
Port exit dimensions: 1.14" x 1.88"
Recommended intake gasket: Edelbrock # 7201.
Use RTV sealant to properly seal end seals, such as Edelbrock High Temp Silicone sealant # 1076, DO NOT USE END SEALS GASKETS.
Sealant must be used on intake bolt threads if the threads extend into lifter valley or coolant passage.
NPT/Pipe thread fittings require the use of Teflon tape or paste on threads to ensure a proper seal.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN NPT/Pipe fittings, this may cause the aluminum to crack around the fitting boss. NPT/Pipe thread is a tapered thread.
Hardened washers Must be used with intake bolts to ensure proper torque and prevent galling of the aluminum.
Even though manifolds are compatible with EGR systems, this does not mean they are legal for use on emissions controlled vehicles. Check local laws for legality.
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.
