Im about to start installing a used Edelbrock Performer.

It didnt come with the 2 nuts to thread onto the studs to bolt the upper down, does anybody know what size these are?

How are the vacuum lines run from the fittings on the bottom of the upper? Theres more fittings on the new upper than on the old. :shrug:

Does anybody have the pictures for the install in the FAQ...none of the pics work anymore. :(

did you check the sticky?

yes sir, pics dont work though...

on my intake there is the PCV attachment, a large vacuum line and 2 small vacuum lines comming off the bottom of the upper. the stock upper only has one small vacuum line, the PCV, and a large vacuum line. :shrug:
 
There should be one large vacuum line running to the nipple on the elbow of the upper intake (same place that the small red vacuum line, and fuel pressure regulator vacuum line runs to). There should be a large vacuum port on the driver side of the upper plenum, facing towards the passenger side, this is where the pcv line goes. There should be two smaller vacuum ports on the underneath of the upper intake, the one towards the driver side should connect to the pcv hose with a tee-connection. The other has a vacuum line coming off the firewall I think that attaches to it.
