PREPARATION AND REMOVAL

*** NOTE ***

If vehicle has gone more than 10,000 miles since it’s last service. It is recommended that new spark plugs (no platinum) be installed and that the ignition timing be set to 6-8° initial uniess using an aftermarket timing box such as the MSD 6AL-BTM. The complete ignition system should be in good working condition before beginning installation. IE. distributor cap and rotor, spark plug wires, etc.

1.1 Preparation and Removal.

A. Disconnect the battery cables; remove bat-

tery hold down, battery, and battery mounting tray. Set these aside to reinstall later.

B. Remove the complete air cleaner assembly,

including the two plastic inlet Ducts located in the inner fender wells (driver & passenger sides). (See Fig. 1-a.)

Fig. 1-a

Fig. 1-b

C. Disconnect the electric choke wire from the

carb. and cut at the alternator harness.

D. Disconnect the fuel line from the carb.

Remove the throttle cable and bracket from the car and discard. (See Fig. 1-b.)

Fig. 1-c

Fig. 1-d

E. Disconnect all vacuum, pcv, and egr lines

from the carb. Labeling each lines function will help to reinstall to their correct positions later.

F. Remove the four retaining nuts and washer

securing the carburetor to the manifold. Remove the carburetor, EGR plate, and four studs from the manifold. Discard these items.

G. Remove the Thermal Vacuum Switch at the

rear of the manifold. Using the supplied 45º brass street elbow, reinstall the switch pointing to the passenger side rear of the vehicle. Reconnect the thermal switch plug. This will allow clearance for the carburetor enclosure. (See Figs. 1-c, 1-d.)

*** NOTE ***

Use pipe sealant on the threads of both the fitting and the switch.

If a longer coil wire is needed, source a universal coil wire kit that can be used. However, this would be a good time to replace a worn wire set.

I. On the passenger side of the A/C condenser,

remove the A/C line support bracket and discard. (See Fig. 1-f.)

J. Relocate the starter solenoid to the driver’s

side just in front of the shock tower. (See Fig. 1-g.)

The ignition switch wire (and any other wires drawing power from the solenoid) will need to be extended to the new location.

K. Relocate the battery tray to the driver’s side.

Use the two 3/8" x 1" bolts, washers, and nuts provided to secure the tray to the engine compartment. Re-install the battery and factory battery hold down. The battery ground cable should be grounded to the engine block. The battery positive cable is reconnected to the starter solenoid. The starter cable will need to be replaced with the longer cable provided to reach the solenoids new location. Route and secure away from heat and moving parts.

L. Locate the steel vacuum tube near the driv-

ers side valve cover. Using the supplied 5/16" x 24" rubber hose, connect this to the vacuum tree on the firewall. Route as shown or for best possible carburetor linkage clearance. (See Fig. 1-h.)

N. Loosen the petcock at the bottom of the

radiator and drain approximately one gallon of coolant into a drain pan. (Save fluid for

re-use.)

O. Disconnect the overflow hose from the neck

of the radiator. Remove the coolant bottle and discard.

P Using a 7/16" combination wrench, loosen

the four bolts that are securing the fan to the water pump. With an18mm combination wrench release the tension on the belt tensioner and remove the factory drive belt. Now remove the four bolts that are securing the fan to the water pump. (See Figs. 1-i.)

Q. Using a 10mm socket & ratchet or screw

driver, loosen the clamps and remove the upper radiator hose from the vehicle. Save for re-use. (See Fig. 1-j.)

R. Using a 7/16" wrench or socket, remove the

two sheet metal screws securing the fan shroud to the radiator core support and remove the fan shroud, fan clutch and fan from the vehicle. (See Fig. 1-k.)

X. Using a 9/16" socket and extension, remove

the remaining bolts securing the factory bracket to the engine. Set the bracket aside, this bracket will not be re-used.

Y. On the frame rail, there is an evaporator

canister. From underneath the vehicle, use a 1/2" socket and remove the two bolts securing the canister bracket to the frame rail. Reposition the canister forward, towards the front of the vehicle, using one of the stock bolts. Resecure the canister to the frame rail using the forward hole in the frame rail and the rear hole in the bracket.

T. Unplug the electrical connection at the alter-

nator, and using a 9/16" and a 1/2" socket, remove the alternator from the factory bracket. (See Fig. 1-m.)

U. Using a 5/16" nut driver, loosen the clamps

and remove the air injection hose from the smog pump and diverter valve up next to the valve cover. Disconnect the vacuum line behind the smog pump and remove the hose from the vehicle. Set aside for re-use

V. Remove the bolt at the rear of the smog

pump using a 9/16" socket and the two at the front of the pump, remove the smog pump from the vehicle.

W. For supercharger clearance, it is necessary to

replace the stock 90° hose port on the smog pump with the smaller piece provided. Locate the supplied assembly and replace the stock piece now. (See Fig. 1-n.)
