1. Please read through the entire instruction sheet to familiarize yourself with the installation before you begin.
2. Start the engine and check for loose connections or coolant/vacuum leaks, etc.
3. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
4. Remove the air filter duct, all vacuum hoses, water (coolant) hoses and electrical connectors from the stock

3. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
4. Remove the air filter duct, all vacuum hoses, water (coolant) hoses and electrical connectors from the stock
throttle body. Mark all hoses and wires to ensure that they are installed correctly on the new throttle body.
Note: Engine coolant may run from the hoses once disconnected. Plug the end of the hose temporarily.

5. Disconnect the throttle linkage by opening the throttle manually and slipping the cable from the cam groove on
the linkage.
6. Remove the four nuts securing the throttle body to the intake manifold and remove it.
7. Remove the MAP (see Figure 1 for MAP sensor location) sensor from the factory throttle body. Use the new
7. Remove the MAP (see Figure 1 for MAP sensor location) sensor from the factory throttle body. Use the new
O-ring with the blue stripe from the kit contents to seal the MAP sensor to the new Edelbrock throttle body. Attach
the MAP sensor to the new throttle body using the factory screws.
Note: To achieve the maximum benefits when re-using the factory intake manifold, you should match the opening
on the intake manifold to the size of the new throttle body bore. The manifold should be port-matched OFF the
engine and thoroughly cleaned prior to re-installation. If using Edelbrock Victor X PN 4764 or 4765, no grinding
is needed. These manifolds are already bore-matched to this throttle body. Refer to the OEM owner's manual for
removal/installation procedure of the intake manifold. Use the gasket as a template to mark the manifold for
grinding.
