WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1985 Chevrolet Sprint. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Clean all mating surfaces. Install new gasket with manifold onto cylinder head. Install wire harness clamps so wires do not interfere with fuel pump. Install 3-way solenoid valve (TWSV) with terminals facing down and away from carburetor. Tighten manifold nuts and bolts to 14-20 ft. lbs. (18-27 N.m).
- Install vacuum lines and coolant hoses. Connect emission control hoses. Connect electrical leads for cooling fan, thermal switch, water temperature gauge switch and TWSV.NOTE: When connecting TWSV, be sure to connect Blue harness connector to Blue TWSV terminal and Black harness connector to Black TWSV terminal.
- Refill cooling system and connect negative battery cable. Ensure accelerator cable is properly adjusted. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure.
NOTE:
Accelerator cable is properly adjusted when engine is at normal operating temperature, throttle plates are in idle position, and cable free play of .12-.19" (3-5 mm) is obtained. When engine is cold and choke plate is closed, cable free play should measure .40-.59" (10-15 mm).
