INSTALLATION
1. Disconnect negative battery terminal.
2. Loosen both of the air inlet tube clamps located on the throttle body and air cleaner,
carefully remove the air inlet tube from the vehicle. (See Photo #1).
3. Carefully disconnect the throttle position sensor and idle speed control solenoid
connectors from the throttle body and disconnect the EGR position sensor connector
from the EGR valve. (See Photo #2).
4. Carefully disconnect the EGR vacuum line from the EGR valve. Loosen the two hose
clamps located on the EGR spacer that hold the throttle body coolant hoses and
remove hoses. (See Photo #3). Disconnect throttle linkage.
CAUTION !
Some coolant may discharge from the throttle
body coolant hoses when removed.
5. Remove the four (4) throttle body attaching nuts and carefully remove the throttle
body and EGR spacer assembly from the upper intake manifold studs. (See Photo #4).
6. For maximum performance with the larger throttle bodies, use the matching size EGR
spacer and enlarge upper manifold mouth accordingly. Most aftermarket intake
manifolds including Edelbrock's part #3821 are already sized to 70mm.
7. Remove the idle speed solenoid and install on the new throttle body. (Use supplied
idle solenoid gasket). Transfer EGR valve to new EGR plate. (Use supplied gasket).
8. Position the following onto the intake manifold studs in order of listing (See Photo #5).
a. EGR spacer gasket.
b. EGR spacer.
c. Throttle body gasket (see Figure 1 for gasket positioning).
d. Throttle body. Torque throttle body attaching nuts to 12-18 ft.-lbs.
9. Connect the throttle position sensor, EGR position sensor and the idle speed control
solenoid. Connect the throttle body coolant hoses and tighten securely. Connect the
throttle linkage.
10. Apply a small amount silicone based lubricant or brake assembly lube to the lip of the
rubber inlet tube and push onto the throttle body. Tighten the clamps firmly. Connect
battery negative terminal.
11. The Idle speed and TPS are set to the factory settings . If you have modified your
engine, additional adjustments may be required. Set the idle speed by using the
following sequence: (about 625 Rpm)
a. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
b. Turn the throttle plate hard stop screw control 5 turns clockwise from the fully
