• DESCRIPTION: The Edelbrock Super Victor 29565 EFI intake manifold holds all the same features as a 2956 manifold,

with the addition of machined vertical injector bosses.  The bosses are located on top of the runners for optimum fuel

injector location.  The 2956 manifold was designed for Pontiac 389-455 engines, which are used in racing applications,

and  operating between 3500 and 7500 rpm.  This intake manifold is designed to use Fuel Rail Kit #3634, which must be

purchased separately.

Note:  This manifold is not intended, nor legal, for street use on pollution-controlled vehicles.  It is the

responsibility of the end-user to verify conformity to a particular racing association's rule regarding manifold

dimensions, aligning to a template, etc.

• ACCESSORIES & INSTALLATION ITEMS: Major recommendations are listed below.  However, due to the variety of

applications, additional equipment may be required for your specific vehicle than mentioned in these instructions.

•

Throttle Body Recommendations: Edelbrock #3879 (GM IAC) or #38793 (Edelbrock/MotoTron IAC) Throttle Body

Note: Some applications may benefit from a one-inch carburetor spacer, such as Edelbrock #8718.  See our catalog for

details.

Fuel Rail Kit:  Edelbrock #3634 - Super Victor Pontiac Fuel Rail Kit

Kit includes the following:

❑

2 - Machined fuel rail extrusions (fuel rail ends tapped for 3/8" pipe)

❑

4 - 1/4-20 x 1-1/4" Hex head bolts

❑

4 - Tall version fuel rail bracket stands (2.65" injector o-ring spacing)

❑

8 - 1/4" Flat washers

❑

4 - Short version fuel rail bracket stands (1.5" injector o-ring spacing) ❑ 4 - 1/4" Lock washers

❑

4 - 1/4-20 x ½" Socket head bolts

❑

4 - 1/4-20 Hex nuts

• Injector Selection: It is important to select the appropriate electronic injectors for optimum performance.  The injectors

must not only match the fuel demands of an engine, but they must also match the electronic capability of the engine control

unit (ECU).  When installing the injectors onto the manifold, make sure that the O-rings of the injectors create a complete

seal to prevent any air or fuel leaks.  The same precaution should be applied when assembling the injectors to the fuel

rails.  Use assembly lube on O-rings when installing injectors.  Brake assembly lube works well.

• Power Options: Although this manifold will work with ported factory cast iron heads, we highly recommend the use of

either our #60579 or our #60599 Performer Pontiac cylinder heads.  These heads offer higher airflow levels with minimum

preparation required.  See our catalog for details.

•

Prep and Tuning for Power: Optimum cylinder head  port opening size should be as close as possible to the size of the

gasket being used.  Port-match the manifold exits .020" per side smaller than either the gasket being used or the cylinder

head port opening, whichever is smaller.
