The intakes are the "tubes" between the carb and the cylinder (the curved
arm). There should be a 6mm screw on this "pipe. " Remove this screw
and replace it with a 6mm adapter. Hook the hoses to each adapter.
DON'T REV THE ENGINE OR MERCURY WILL GET SUCKED INTO YOUR CYLINDER. (ask
me how I know this)
Good Luck, Frank

Where are these screws? On the carbs? I am having a brain fart here
on
where the intake manifolds are. BTW, I have individual K&N's on the

carbs. I sort of remember taking out a screw somewhere on the carb,

inserting these adapter pipes, and sliding the hoses over them, just

can't recall where to insert these adapter tubes. Perhaps I need to

pull the sidecovers and take a look on the inside area of the carbs.

The area on the carb I was checking out before was right next to the

banjos, its a tube sticking out just like the fuel mixture tube - I
guess it's universal for multiple applications and you just use one
side
for the mixture screw and plug the other. Can you please be
specific
where I should look for this screw? Is it near the mixture or idle
speed screws? On the opposite side near the banjo?

Thanx!

Don't you have to have intakes with the screws in them to use a

My '72 Eldo does have screws in the intakes...
