NOTE: Installation of the mechanical fuel pump is the same as for OEM pumps. If uncertain of the procedure to follow for your particular vehicle,
consult the appropriate repair manual for your model vehicle. Note that the fuel inlet and outlet of the Edelbrock Street Performance Fuel Pump is
much bigger than original equipment (3/8" NPT). See next page for instructions on re-positioning the pump body for fuel line clearance.

•

Pump inlet and outlet ports are tapped to 3/8" NPT.

•

For off-road or race applications, we recommend the use of a dust-shield between fuel pump and the nearest wheel, to prevent dirt or
debris from plugging the pump vent hole.

•

110 GPH Fuel Pump output fuel pressure is set at 6 psi. An external fuel pressure regulator is NOT REQUIRED in most cases.

•

130 GPH Fuel Pump output fuel pressure is set at 10 psi. An external fuel pressure regulator IS REQUIRED in most cases.
Edelbrock recommends the use of our regulators # 1727, or 8192. See our catalog or website for more details.

•

On some 351-W Ford engines there may be casting flash on the front cover which will interfere with proper seating of your new fuel
pump. File this area flat for proper gasket seating.

•

When installing fittings, we recommend a liquid teflon thread sealant be used. This will help prevent the fitting from galling and
ensure a proper seal. DO NOT use teflon tape.
