Edelbrock RPM 2 upper

ok i need to put all the vaccume line connections on this bad boy. its got so many F'ing holes to put connections at. if yal need i can take a couple pics real quick. i need to kno where each vaccume connection goes that comes with the kit. i have a 90 degree elbow (large fitting) large vaccume connection, and two small vaccume connections and the two small ones are a little different. do i need to take the ones from the stock manifold and put it on the new manifold? i need to kno which holes to plug up. i have no smog or emissions stuff either. thanks!

also what line goes to the little round shaft sticking out the side of my bbk cai?

someone has got to know! lol

The CAI goes to the TB i think....not positive though. Or is it a valve cover....either way u could just plug it.

Vacuum lines are easy. Count what u have in your engine bay and what needs vacuum and what doesnt. Figure out what reaches what on the intake, and plug the holes u dont need. The intake should have fittings for u to use, if not try to get the ones out of the old intake i guess or make a quick visit to lowes/homedepot.

oh....and can we get a minor reduction in size on that sig? That thing is HUGE!

 

[StinkinLincoln]

how about that?
thx and i think i will try that. there is just like 10 million holes in the new manifold. it came with (1) 3/8 plug and (2) 1/8 plugs i believe it is. then the lower had 2 threaded holes in it that the stock lower didnt. so i had to get 2 pipe plugs for that...the stock one didnt need them so i hope the edel. lower will lol...this crap is confusing!

You have to figure out how many you had before you took it off. The same number of plugs need to connect.

You will have to buy plugs for some of the holes. I believe I ended up using 4 hoses and plugging 2-3 holes when I did my trickflow manifold. Your RPM 2 will fit a Fox 302 as well, those fellas had more vacuum hoses to the manifold. I went to NAPA and screwed them in wrench tight after wrapping the threads in plumber's tape. Worked like a charm.

The fitting sticking out on the side of your BBK CAI goes to your oil filler caps vent fitting, just use a rubber hose. If you have a breather cap on your oil filler, then you can just plug the hole on your CAI, and not worry about it. Make sure that fitting on your CAI isnt sticking upwards, otherwise if you start pulling ALOT of air at high throttle conditions, and your vent line is helped by gravity, you can pull oil into the CAI. This is why alot of people just put on a breather cap and discard the filler vent hose and plug the holes.
