1.1 General Information
The Edelbrock 5.0L/4.6L Performer RPM EFI Nitrous System (Part Number 70402) is designed for
1986 through 1995 5.0L and 1996 through 1998 4.6L Ford Mustangs with return-style fuel systems
and stock or slightly modified V8 engines. Horsepower and torque increases can vary with equipment
upgrades and modifications.
The system utilizes one nozzle that is installed in the intake boot just after the MAF (mass air sensor) filter and
before the throttle body. The additional fuel needed is supplied by the vehicle’s standard fuel system.
This system has been designed with some flexibility as to where certain components can be located to allow easy
installation on vehicles with upgraded or modified equipment. The microswitch brackets are designed to be
manipulated (bent, cut, twisted, etc.) and the electrical components have properly sized and ample lengths of wire.
This system includes the bottle (shipped empty), bottle feed line and universal footprint steel bottle brackets. The
mounting brackets also include rubber insulators to protect the surface of your nitrous bottle while mounted in the
brackets. When installing your nitrous bottle, pay close attention to the installation instructions for the location of
your bottle. Make sure that the installation of your bottle does not interfere with any systems that may lie under
the location where you plan to drill holes for mounting the brackets.
Contact your local automotive store, motorcycle shop or race track for refilling of your bottle. Trust a professional
to properly fill your bottle and reference your installation manual when re-installing your filled bottle back into your
vehicle.
Always take care when handling a full bottle of nitrous oxide. Please reference this manual for further safety
measures to take during the handling of a nitrous oxide bottle.
Please follow all safety methods during the installation of your Edelbrock Nitrous System, and follow all vehicle
regulations and road laws when using your nitrous system.
