New Intake Installed!!!
Well, I did it! Installed an edlebrock RPM Air Gap on my 340.First time I ever tried something of this magnitude. AND IT WORKS!!!!!
Thanks to all of you for the pointers that helped me through it.
There is one ***** I have about edelbrock however. I spent a bunch of hours and trips to several part stores looking for the heater hose connector for the new manifold (old one was just not going to come out). It is some off the wall size like 15/16 or something and I finally found a guy at the Napa store who found a big rig truck fitting that worked. Why couldn't edelbrock supply such an odball fitting with the manifold???
Another beef is that I couldn't get a socket or box end on two of the manifold bolts because the casting was too close to the bolt hole. Wouldn't you think that should be a high priority QC item???
The unit does work nice though.
Next week I'll post up some shots of my babys new shoes....15" ralleys with chrome trim rings and smoke colored hubs, Goodrich Radial T/S's 225/60-15
Very Beautimus!!!
