Gasoline and gasoline fumes are extremely flammable. Work in a well-ventilated area away from open flames,
sparks, or other sources of ignition. Try to contain gasoline when connections are loosened, and clean up any
spills immediately. Failure to do so can result in a fire or explosion.

Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation will void warranty and may result in

poor performance and engine or vehicle damage.

1. DISCONNECT BATTERY ground(-) to prevent short that
could damage electrical components or ignite gasoline
or gasoline fumes. Stainless steel braid on hose
included in #641580 and #641590 kit will conduct
electricity.

2. Allow engine to cool. Relieve any residual fuel system
pressure.

3. Remove all fuel system components and plumbing
between fuel tank outlet and carburetor inlet, noting
routing of hoses and lines. Cap off fuel tank outlet.

4. If needed, install appropriate supplied block-off plate
onto fuel pump mounting boss on engine block using

outlet of Edelbrock electric fuel pump, using pipe thread
sealant

Russell filter. Filter goes between tank and pump.
Pump should be as close to fuel tank as possible, and as
low as possible without being exposed to exhaust heat,
suspension or driveline movement, or road hazards.
Use fully-clamped pump mounting bracket as template
for drilling mounting holes. NOTE: fabrication of an
additional mounting bracket may be required

(See Fig. 1)

.

7. Mount fuel pump in desired location. Mount filter with
supplied clamp
