3. Install one mounting bracket on each of the two
header flange bolts loosened in Step 2. Position the
brackets so that the slot on the end is straight down
under the bolt and the bracket is flat on top. These
brackets will angle back and down slightly when
installed properly. Re-tighten flange bolts with
brackets in place.
NOTE: Before attempting to install the heat shield
onto the brackets, first measure the distance
between the threaded holes in the mounting
brackets. You should have 9 1/8” from center to
center of holes. If you don’t, you can bend the
brackets with a pair of pliers or a small hammer.
Doing this will make heat shield installation much
easier.
4. Install the left side heat shield by positioning the rear
edge down toward the center of the header, then
while moving it down and back, slip it past the valve
cover and foot well sheet metal and into position.
NOTE: We recommend you use a small dab of high
heat silicone R.T.V. on the top surface of the
mounting bracket to help keep the shield from
rattling against the mounting bracket. Align the
shield with the brackets and install bolts and lock
washers supplied in kit.
5. After you have tightened the heat shield to the
mounting brackets, tap on the shield to see if you
have rattles. To eliminate rattles, you can: (1) adjust
the shield at the slotted mounting holes of the shield;
(2) bend the heat shield as needed for clearance; (3)
bend the mounting brackets slightly for a better fit
on your vehicle.
6. Re-install plug wires onto spark plugs.
NOTE: Spark plug boots and wire should not contact
the sharp edges of the heat shield as they may be
damaged.
BOTH SIDES FINAL CHECK: Make sure you have re-
secured all bolts, screw, etc. Make sure all hoses, wires
and plug boots have adequate clearance around sharp
edges of heat shields.
Start vehicle and let idle. If heat shields rattle, refer to
Step 5 (Left Side) or Step 7 (Right Side). When the
vehicle is idling, the heat shields will look like they shake
a lot, but if installed and adjusted properly should not
rattle.
FOR INSTALLING ON VEHICLE WITH OTHER THAN
EDELBROCK T.E.S.
These heat shields are designed to work primarily with
Edelbrock T.E.S. but can be adapted to be used with
other manufacturer’s headers.
It may be necessary to fabricate additional or different
mounting brackets, trim shield if necessary if the
brackets supplied will not work for the brand of headers
you have.
Installations on vehicles with other than Edelbrock T.E.S.
should be done by a skilled fabricator for custom
installation.
