To check kit contents see exploded view of carburetor and parts description on last page. Verify that all parts underlined on

list are in your kit.

Carb Kit contains all necessary parts and instructions to rebuild your Edelbrock Carburetor properly. When similar parts are contained in the Carb Kit,

choose the ones that most closely match the existing parts. Some parts in the kit may not be needed.

1. DISASSEMBLE carburetor use accompanying exploded view as a

guide..

➾Remove pump lever by driving roll pin through far enough to permit

release of lever.

➾Remove air horn screws.

➾Remove power piston by pressing down and releasing with a snap.

➾Remove power piston spring(s).

➾Do Not turn nor remove factory-adjusted stop screw next to power

piston. (APT) Adjustable part throttle.

➾Do Not turn nor remove factory-adjusted screw in aneroid cover.

➾Turn idle mixture needles clockwise and record number of turns

needed to lightly bottom them, for use during reassembly. Remove

needles.

➾Disassemble choke cap from housing per Figure 13 (not applicable

to remote choke models).

2. CLEAN carburetor.

➾Soak the carb parts (except as noted below) in a cold immersion

type carb cleaner.

➾Use mineral spirits or kerosene to clean solenoids, choke cover,

aneroid, float, float bowl inserts, vacuum breaks, seals or other

parts containing rubber. Do not immerse these parts in carb

cleaner.

➾Blowout all passages with compressed air .

➾After a thorough cleaning of all castings and parts, pay particular

attention to the cleanliness of the power piston and the body

casting bore where it is housed. Any sticking of the power valve

will prevent proper fuel control and affect driveability.

3. REASSEMBLE carburetor and ADJUST following sequence illustrated.

➾Refer to model number for specifications. Use figure 1 to find

position of model number

➾Install new intermediate choke shaft seal in float bowl. Lip faces

outward. On Hot Air Choke models, install additional shaft seal in

choke housing. Lip faces float bowl. Disregard for remote choke

models.

➾Do not install float needle pull clip into holes in float arm.

➾Install power piston. Press plastic retainer into bore until flush with

top of float bowl casting.

➾Carefully remove pump cup (with garter spring, if used) from pump

head. Install new cup (with new garter spring, if used) on pump

head.

➾If used, install new pump stem seal and retainer in air horn. Lip

faces toward outside of carburetor. Lightly stake casting around

retainer.

➾Select correct air horn gasket by matching replacement to old

gasket.

➾Tighten air horn screws in numerical sequence per illustration.

Torque screws 32-60 in-lbs.

➾Install the choke cover and

coil assembly per Figure15.

Use the cover gasket on hot

air model only (1903). Do

not use the cover gasket on

electric choke model

1904,05,06,10.

4. REINSTALL carburetor to intake

manifold, torque mounting bolts

to 110 in-Ibs.

5. ADJUST idle mixture and speed

according to vehicle manufacturer's specifications.
