Tech Tips: 
- Recommended carburetor: Edelbrock AVS2 or Performer Series 650-800 cfm. Manifold accepts square-bore carbs only. Use bracket P/N: EDL8032 for 1972-1978.
- Stock brackets will require modification to fit the upright manifold bolt holes. Use Edelbrock Vortec throttle bracket P/N: EDL8032.
- Recommended intake gasket: Edelbrock P/N: EDL7235. 
- Use P/N: EDL8516 Edelbrock bolt kit. 
- Edelbrock does not recommend the use of an economy-type carburetor such as the Performer series P/N: CARBEDL1 or P/N: CARBEDL9 on Performer RPM Intake Manifolds. Economy-type carburetors are calibrated lean for fuel economy and will not perform properly on this style of intake.

Additional Notes: 
- Use RTV sealant to properly seal end seals, such as Edelbrock High Temp Silicone sealant P/N: EDL1076. 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 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.
- Will not fit under stock Corvette hood.
