INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the Edelbrock Pro-Flo 3 EFI system. This is an electronic fuel injection system intended for V8 engines originally equipped with carburetors. The Pro-Flo 3 EFI system can be paired via bluetooth connection with an exclusive tuning software, E-Tuner, which is available as a free app for most Android-based tablets and smartphones. The use of a laptop PC is not required for tuning. The E-Tuner Android app will enable real-time system performance monitoring and fine tuning adjustments. The Pro-Flo 3 EFI system offers
you the most bang for your buck, along with out-of-the-box performance from a name you can trust....Edelbrock!
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to call our EFI Technical Support
at: (800) 416-8628, 7am-5pm PST, Monday-Friday.
E-TUNER SOFTWARE UPDATES
Edelbrock periodically releases improved versions of the E-Tuner app software. These updates can include improvements to pre­installed calibration maps, additional calibration maps and updates to the user interface to improve the overall functionality of the software. It is recommended to check the Google Play Store or the Edelbrock website to verify that you have the most recent version of the app.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS
Before beginning the installation, verify that all components are present in the box. Inspect each component for damage that may have occurred in transit. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact Edelbrock Technical Support at (800) 416-8628, not your parts distributor.
CAREFULLY STUDY AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING THIS INSTALLATION.
NOTE: The installation can be accomplished using common tools and procedures. However, it is highly recommended to have a
solid understanding of automotive repairs and modifications, and be familiar with and comfortable working on your vehicle and your vehicle's fuel system. If you do not feel comfortable working on your vehicle, it is recommended to have the installation completed by a professional mechanic.
PROPER INSTALLATION IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE INSTALLER. IMPROPER INSTALLATION WILL VOID ALL MANUFACTURER’S STANDARD WARRANTIES AND MAY RESULT IN POOR PERFORMANCE AND/OR DAMAGE TO
THE ENGINE AND/OR VEHICLE.
WARNING: The Edelbrock E-Tuner Software is intended to be used as a hands-free tuning tool and gauge display. Any function that requires prolonged attention should only be performed after coming to a complete stop. Distracted driving is extremely dangerous and illegal in most states. If adjustments are to be made during driving, always stop the vehicle in a safe location before performing any adjustments, or have a passenger perform the necessary adjustments. Please check with your local laws for legal mounting locations in your vehicle.
02 SENSOR INSTALLATION
It is suggested that the 02 sensor bung be installed by a professional muffler shop prior to the installation of the Edelbrock Pro-Flo 3 EFI system. DO NOT drive the vehicle with the 02 sensor unplugged, sensor damage will occur. An 02 sensor bung plug is provided for your convenience. Refer to Page #8 for the 02 sensor installation procedure.
EMISSION CONTROLS
The Edelbrock Pro-Flo 3 EFI system will not accept stock emissions control systems. Check your local emissions laws for requirements before installing the Pro-Flo 3 EFI system. This system is not legal for use on pollution-controlled motor vehicles.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Because the Pro-Flo 3 EFI system uses a wideband oxygen (02) sensor, unleaded fuel must be used at all times. Using leaded fuels will damage the O2 sensor and void your warranty. If leaded fuel is present in your fuel tank, the tank must be drained and filled with
unleaded fuel. It is also recommended to have a full fuel tank before operating the vehicle (after the installation).
NOTE: E85 fuels are not compatible with any Pro-Flo 3 EFI systems.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CHECK
For best performance, economy, and emissions, the transmission kick down and shift points must be checked before and after the Pro­Flo 3 EFI installation.
SPARK PLUG WIRES
High EMI suppression spark plug wires are necessary, do not use solid core spark plug wires. Resistor type spark plugs are necessary.
EXHAUSTS SYSTEM
For best results, headers are recommended. For the Self Tuning function to properly operate, the exhaust system must be completely sealed from header flange surface at cylinders heads to tailpipe. The exhaust system should be completely inspected prior to
installing the Pro-Flo 3 EFI system. All gaskets and hardware should be replaced. All hardware torques should be checked on regular bases.
CHARGING SYSTEM
The Pro-Flo 3 EFI System requires a constant battery voltage of 12.0 volts or greater to operate properly. Recommended battery capabilities are: 1000Ca @32°F / 800Ca @0°F. The vehicle’s battery must be in good operating condition capable of maintaining a proper charge at all times. Verify the vehicle’s charging system is operating properly and that the system voltage maintains 12.0 volts, or greater, at all times. All chassis grounds must be tight and clean. A ground cable from the engine block to chassis should be employed. All battery cables must be in good condition providing a clean tight connection to the battery.
BATTERY CHARGER PRECAUTIONS - PLEASE ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES OR DAMAGE TO ECU MAY OCCUR.
• Be sure the battery has a full charge prior to attempting to start the vehicle.
• Never use the “engine start or jump start” setting on a charger to start the engine.
• Do not set the battery charger above 10 amps when charging.
• Never turn on the ECU or attempt to start the engine with the battery charger is connected .
• Make sure the charger is not charging over 18.0 volts.
• If battery the battery is completely discharged, it is best to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery when charging.
COOLING SYSTEM
The minimum temperature requirement for the thermostat is 180°F.
