I have a question that im confused on my 1985 monte ss. Will I was wondering if I take my stock air filter of and put a edelbrock air filter on where do I plug up the hoses that were in my stock air filter??? I know some one out there knows so please help and not just read thanks

 

I believe theres 1 vacuum line (underneath) and 1 in the side of the air cleaner...

You can plug the underneath vacuum line with a little plug(cut it short at the port off the carb (put a little screw in it) or get a nipple to put over the port... The other is off the back of the manifold.... You can plug that one with pipe threaded plug.(use pipedope tape) So it doesnt leak...

That should do it!

 

Most air cleaners come with the fittings/adapters required in order to attach factory breather hoses, vacuum lines, etc. If they don't come with it you can purchase them seperately from their web site. The only connections that you may not be able to replicate is the vacuum line for the snorkel flap actuator and the heat stove pipe that comes up off the exhaust manifold. Just trace the vacuum line back to the carb/manifold, remove it and cap the nipple it was connected to. Remove the heat stove pipe from the exhaust manifold. Since you will not be getting warm air to the carb via the heat stove pipe it will take the vehicle a little more time to warm up, but you can reduce that by readjusting the choke thermostat. Do not plug off the breather pipe that goes to the valve cover. It is an important part of the pcv system. Use the appropriate adapter to connect it to the new air cleaner.

 

Thanks for the replay. Stumpmi I think imma try that imma look into it for them nipples and I also need to get a value cover filter I hope this wirks right. Thanks again and you to 03ssle
