• DESCRIPTION: Because of the current high demand for multiple carburetion, Edelbrock has reintroduced the C-357-B three
two-barrel manifold #5419 for small-block Chevrolets. This manifold is primarily designed for street rod applications. Please
note “Brackets” section below for your particular installation. NOTE: HEI distributors will not fit. Stock point-type distributors

may require re-phasing to provide adequate clearance for ignition timing adjustment.

• EGR SYSTEMS: Intake manifold will not accept stock EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) equipment. EGR systems are used on
most 1972 and later model vehicles. Check local laws for requirements.

• ACCESSORIES & INSTALLATION ITEMS: Major recommendations are listed below. See our catalog for details. To order a
catalog, call (800) FUN-TEAM, or visit www.edelbrock.com.

• CARBURETOR RECOMMENDATIONS:

CAUTION: Use only small 2 GC Rochester carburetors. For carburetors, linkage and fuel lines, we recommend that you contact
Automotion Rochester Carburetor Service, 837- 36th Avenue Northeast, Great Falls, MT, 59404- [phone] (phone and fax).

CARBURETOR (Qty. 3) REFERENCE PARTS REQUIRED FOR INSTALLATION
Rochester 2GC Type (2bbl) A, I Custom throttle linkage required, refer to CAUTION above for details.

A - Carburetor will work with non-EGR or pre-emission control systems.

I - Carburetor has no provisions for evaporative canister.

• THROTTLE &ACCESSORY BRACKETS: The throttle and kickdown bracket on some vehicles may require modification to fit.
This manifold will not accept any alternator bracket assembly which mounted to the OEM manifold (check with aftermarket
suppliers of alternator brackets such as B&M, Mr. Gasket, TD Performance Products, etc.). It has no provision for ignition coil,
and will accept front (early style) oil filler tube. Valve covers with adequate ventilation provisions are required (PCV valve and
breather recommended).

• GASKETS: Do not use competition style intake gaskets for this street manifold. Due to material deterioration over time, internal
leakage of vacuum, oil, and coolant may occur.

• PREP AND TUNING FOR POWER:

1. Specific applications may show an increase in power by tuning the fuel mixture.

2. Aftermarket distributor curve kits may be used with this intake manifold. HEIdistributors WILL NOT fit.

3. Use modified or high performance cylinder heads such as our Performer or Performer RPM.

4. Installation of aftermarket headers, camshafts or both may lean carburetor calibration. Should this condition occur,

recalibrate with a richer jet.

• CAMSHAFT AND HEADERS: Three-Deucemanifolds are compatible with aftermarket camshafts and headers. Header primary

tube diameter should be 1-5/8” to 1-3/4" depending on the specific engine combination. Edelbrock has developed two
camshafts for use with this intake manifold - Performer-Plus #2103 or Torker-Plus #5002. Please check the catalog or website
for rpm and application guidelines.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1) Use only recommended intake gaskets set when installing this intake manifold.

2) Fully clean the cylinder head intake flanges and the engine block end seal surfaces.

3) Apply Edelbrock Gasgacinch sealant P/N 9300 to both cylinder head flanges and to the cylinder head side of
the gaskets, allow to air dry, and attach the intake gaskets.

4) Do not use cork or rubber end seals. Use RTV silicone sealer instead. Apply a ¼" high bead across each block
end seal surface, overlapping the intake gasket at the four corners. This method will eliminate end seal
slippage.

5) Install the intake manifold and hold-down bolts. Torque all of the manifold bolts in two steps by the sequence
shown in Figure 1 to 25 ft/lbs.
