are present in the box. Then inspect each component for damage that may have occurred
in transit. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact Edelbrock Technical Support (800416-8628), not your parts distributor.
WARNING: The Edelbrock E-Street EFI system will not work on Point Type Ignition systems.
CAREFULLY STUDY AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING THIS INSTALLATION.
NOTE: The installation can be accomplished using common tools and procedures. However, it is highly recommended to
have a solid understanding of automotive repairs and modifications, and be familiar with and comfortable working on your
vehicle and your vehicle's fuel system. If you do not feel comfortable working on your vehicle, it is recommended to have
the installation completed by a professional mechanic.
Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation will void all manufacturer’s
standard warranties and may result in poor performance and/or engine or vehicle damage.
WARNING: The Edelbrock E-Tuner Tablet is intended as a hands free tuning display gauge and should only be used as
such while driving. Any function that requires prolonged attention should only be performed after coming to a complete
stop. Distracted driving is extremely dangerous and illegal in most states. If adjustments are to be made during driving,
always stop the vehicle in a safe location before performing any adjustments, or have a passenger perform the necessary
adjustments. Please check with your local laws for legal mounting locations in your vehicle.
02 SENSOR INSTALLATION
It is suggested that the 02 sensor threaded fitting be installed by a professional muffler shop prior to the installation of the
Edelbrock E-Street EFI system. DO NOT drive the vehicle with the 02 sensor installed and not plugged in. An 02 sensor
threaded fitting plug is provided for your convenience.
EMISSION CONTROLS
The Edelbrock E-Street EFI system will not accept stock emissions control systems. Check your local emissions laws
for requirements before installing the E-Street EFI system. This system is not legal for use on pollution-controlled motor
vehicles.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS
Because the E-Street EFI system uses a wideband oxygen sensor (02), unleaded fuel must be used at all times. Using
leaded fuels will damage the O2 sensor and void your warranty. If leaded fuel is present in your fuel tank, the tank
must be drained and filled with unleaded fuel. It is also recommended to have a full fuel tank before operating the vehicle
(after the installation).
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CHECK
For best performance, economy, and emissions, the transmission kick down and shift points must be checked before and
after the E-street EFI installation.
IGNITION SYSTEM CHECK
Verify that all your ignition system components are operating properly. Verify ignition timing and spark advance curves
have been properly set. High EMI suppression spark plug wires are necessary, do not use solid core spark plug wires.
Resistor type spark plugs are necessary.

WIDEBAND OXYGEN SENSOR (02) INSTALLATION
The 02 sensor must be installed in the exhaust system using the supplied 02 sensor threaded fitting from Bag #1. The 02
sensor is required as it measures the oxygen content of the exhaust gas, which is used by the ECU to manage fuel delivery
under closed loop control.
NOTE: It is suggested that the 02 sensor threaded fitting be installed by a professional muffler shop prior to the
installation of the Edelbrock E-Street EFI system. DO NOT drive the vehicle with the 02 sensor installed and not plugged
into the E-Street main harness. An 02 sensor threaded fitting plug is provided for your convenience.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
WARNING: A properly sealed exhaust system is critical for the E-Street EFI to function properly. Any air leaks in the
exhaust system upstream of the O2 sensor will skew O2 sensor outputs to the ECU resulting in improper calibration
that may result in damage to your engine. Improper installation of the O2 sensor and any damage that may result is
not covered by any Edelbrock Warranty.
NOTE: Because of harness length constraints, it is highly recommended to install the 02 sensor and the E-Street ECU
on the same side of the vehicle. Ideally, this is on the passenger side of the vehicle.
1. Verify that the header and tailpipe gaskets are all in good condition. It is recommended to replace any worn or torn
gaskets as they may cause exhaust leaks, which can lead to inaccurate Air Fuel Ratio (AFR) readings. Also, make sure
to torque all fasteners to manufacturer’s spec to avoid any possible exhaust leaks.
2. The 02 sensor threaded fitting must be installed in the exhaust
system, approximately 2-6” inches after the header collector
and before the catalytic converter (if equipped). This location
must be approximately 10° above horizontal and within reach
of the 02 Sensor harness connector on the E-Street main
harness.
3. Using a Sharpie marker, or equivalent, mark the drilling location
on the exhaust system pipe. Check the proposed mounting
location to ensure the clearance for the 02 sensor is adequate
and that the 02 sensor connector on the main harness will reach
the 02 sensor location. Make sure to take engine movement
into consideration when checking for clearance.
02 Sensor Threaded Fitting
Exhaust Pipe
4. Drill a 5/8" hole in the proposed mounting location. Deburr and clean the hole as needed.
5. Fit the provided 02 threaded fitting onto the hole opening. Secure the threaded fitting with a clamp and weld the
threaded fitting into place.
6. Once the installation of the threaded fitting is complete, make sure to clean the threads of the threaded fitting to ensure
it's free of debris.
NOTE: The 02 sensor threaded fitting uses an M18 x 1.5 thread pitch.
7. With the 02 sensor threaded fitting installed, the provided threaded fitting plug from Bag #1 can be temporally installed
using a 7/8” wrench to enable the driveability of the vehicle.
8. When ready to begin the installation of the E-Street EFI system, the threaded fitting plug can be removed.
9. Apply a high-heat anti-seize compound (not included) to the threads of the 02 sensor and install into the threaded
fitting using an 7/8” oxygen sensor socket or 7/8” wrench.
10.The 02 sensor will connect to the 02 sensor connector on the main E-Street ECU harness.

NOTE: A fuel pump block-off plate (not included) is
required to block-off the factory fuel pump hole.
4. Install block-off plate using the appropriate gasket and
bolts.
11.Find a suitable mounting location for the ECU (this
should be on the same side of the vehicle as the 02
sensor). The fender well, or inner fender panel are ideal
locations.
NOTE: It is recommended to mount the ECU in a location
away from excess heat, vibration and possible water
exposure.
5. Remove air cleaner, throttle linkage, vacuum and fuel
lines from the factory carburetor.
12.Using the supplied rubber washers and sheet metal
screws from Bag #1, mount the ECU to the desired
mounting location. The rubber washers must be used
in between the mounting surface and the ECU to help
absorb excessive vibration.
6. Unbolt carburetor and place shop rags inside the
manifold plenum(s).
7. Clean all debris from the intake manifold.
8. Install the Coolant Temperature Sensor, from Bag #1, to
the intake manifold coolant passage on the hot side of
the thermostat. A 1/2" to 3/8" pipe reducer, in Bag #1,
is supplied if needed.
13.Connect the E-Street main harness to the appropriate
sensors and injectors on the throttle body (refer to page
#5 for harness diagram).
14.Find a suitable harness route in the engine compartment
which leads to the ECU location. The harness fits best if
routed from the throttle body back towards the firewall,
across the firewall, then forward towards the ECU
location.
NOTE: Avoid routing the harness near any ignition
related components (ignition coil, distributor, spark
plug wires). Also avoid routing near the headers, sharp
edges, or any tight radius corners that may damage the

.
NOTE: This is a fuel based rev-limiter. It will allow a
200-300 RPm overshoot of the set RPm.
The E-Street EFI system is equipped with a warning
system to alert you of any sensor failures and/or if any of the
preset parameters have been exceeded ie: temperatures,
pressures, battery voltage, engine speed, etc. The tablet
will display a popup Fault Warning Screen with a fault
description and option to CANCEL or IGNORE the fault.
Selecting CANCEL will disregard the fault for 20 seconds. If
the fault still exists, the warning screen will display again.
If IGNORE is selected, the fault will be ignored until the
fault returns to its origin then exceeds the warning setpoint
again.
11. Start the engine and let it warm up to operating
temperature. Proceed with Steps 11-14 before
driving vehicle. The engine may not run smoothly
at this time. Adjustments to the Throttle Body Idle
Screw can be made as needed to keep the engine from
stalling. In addition, throttle input may be needed to
keep the engine running. DO NOT over-rev or drive the
vehicle as damage to the engine may result.
NOTE: Warm the engine to operating temperature
before proceeding (At least 160 °F)
After the Setup Wizard has been completed, the idle
speed has been set, and the throttle sensor calibrated,
the use of the tablet is no longer required to operate the
E-Street EFI. The tablet is only necessary to monitor
system performance using the Tuning Gauge Displays and
to make any desired modifications to the calibration. All
modification made with the tablet after the completion of
the Setup Wizard will require connectivity with the E-Street
ECU and will be applied in real time.
12. With the engine at operating temperature, adjust the
idle speed screw on throttle body to the desired idle
speed. With the idle screw set, adjust the Target Idle
RPM on the tablet to the desired idle RPM value, press
accept
to continue. (Fig. 5).

The E-Street EFI will constantly modify and apply
fuel corrections to optimize your vehicles performance.
Depending on your driving style and frequency of operation,
this process will require adequate time to learn and adjust
for inaccuracies during light acceleration, cruise, and some
wide open throttle (WOT) conditions.
During the self learning process, the E-Street EFI system
will constantly save Fuel Trim Modifications and store
them to the E-Street ECU memory automatically. Fuel Trim
Modifications and setup information will be stored in the
ECU until deleted or erased by the user. Power failures and
lost of connectivity will not erase any stored data in the
ECU.
13. Verify that nothing is pressing the accelerator pedal
then press accept
to calibrate the TPS.
NOTE: vehicle may stumble and stall during this
process. This will calibrate the Throttle Position sensor
to 10° of throttle at idle.
The key to driving your vehicle initially with the E-Street
EFI is to employ smooth slow throttle transitions and
accelerations. Try to drive the vehicle in a manner that
employs all conditions; light load, heavy load, high RPM and
low RPM.
14. Congratulations, the Setup Wizard is complete and a
Base Map has been loaded successfully to the ECU.
15. Before driving your vehicle, it is highly recommended to
read the Getting Familiar with the E-Street EFI section.
Also note that it is recommended to drive cautiously
and allow adequate time for the self learning feature
to complete.
If you have any questions, please contact the Edelbrock

If you experience a situation where the engine is
not performing properly, it helps to observe the Air Fuel
Ratio Setpoint (AFR SP), Actual Air Fuel Ratio (AFR), and
the percentage of fuel corrections being applied (AFR
Cor). The E-Tuner display screen is most useful for these
observations. Try to hold a steady RPM and Vacuum level
at the point that the vehicle is struggling, as the E-Street EFI
makes adjustments, the AFR Cor should start to decrease
and the AFR SP and AFR bars should become aligned.

ADVANCED SETUP MENU
If running the E-Street EFI on a vehicle that is making
close to the maximum horsepower rating of this system
(max HP rating will depend on fuel system used), be sure
to monitor the Injector Duty Cycle (INJ Duty) on the display
screen when running under wide open throttle conditions.
If Injector Duty Cycle exceeds 100%, adjustments may be
necessary or an incorrect setup may have been loaded.
Please contact the Edelbrock Tech Support Line for
assistance (1-800-416-8628).
*Requires wireless connectivity with the E-Street ECU
The Advanced Setup Menu section is provided to make
modifications beyond the basic settings that were configured
during the initial setup of your E-Street EFI (Fig. 6).
Fig. 6
NOTE: There is no benefit to reloading the calibration once
it has been loaded successfully. If you are not satisfied
with the performance of your vehicle and would like to
start over from the base calibration, please go to "Custom
Maps/Seetings" and Reset Self Learn Values. This will
clear any self learn corrections that have been applied to
the calibration.
1. ON / OFF Menu
- In some scenarios it may be
necessary to enable or disable such controls as the
Idle Control, O2 Self Learn, or Multispark. This menu
provides such actions without having to run through the
Setup Wizard procedure.
Depending on the Fuel System Type selected during the
Setup procedure, your Fuel System Pressure will be either
49 PSI (+-2 ) or 60 PSI (+-2). Refer to the help file
on
the setup screen for Fuel Pressure information related to
your system.
2. Adjust 02 Setpoints
- Use this function to set the
parameters for the Idle air fuel ratio (AFR), Cruise AFR
and WOT AFR (Fig. 7). The Adjust O2 Setpoints are a
useful options for custom tuning your E-Street EFI
System. These adjustments provide advantages over
a carburetor by improving performance and increasing
fuel economy. Refer to the help icon in this section for
suggested AFR setpoint ranges.
The E-Street EFI System is programmed with cold start
tables. These tables function similar to a choke system
on a carburetor. The Idle RPM will raise during initial cold
start conditions, then decay out to the desired Idle Speed
Setpoint as the water temperature increases to 150°F.
The fuel pump is programmed to run for 5 to 8 seconds
prior to key "ON", then it shuts off automatically until
"CRANKING" is sensed. A momentary Fuel Injector Prime
event is active at key on to assist engine starts.
Some vehicles may experience extended cranking time
before the engine will start if the vehicle has been sitting
overnight or long enough for the fuel system pressure
to bleed down. To reduce cranking times during these
situations it helps to key on for 2-3 seconds then key off
and then start the engine. This helps build fuel pressure in
the system so when the key is turned on the second time
there is adequate fuel pressure during the cold start prime
event. This procedure should only be necessary in the
morning or after the vehicle sits for a prolonged time.
Fig. 7
a. The Idle AFR Setpoint is used to tune the vehicle for
best idle quality and throttle response just off idle.
The E-Street ECU will adjust fuel trims to meet this
setpoint whenever the throttle is less than 12° and
the Engine RPM is less than 1400 RPM. Engines with
larger Camshaft Duration will generally require richer
Air Fuel Ratios at Idle. Suggested Idle AFR Range
11.8 – 13.8.
b. The Cruise AFR Setpoint is useful for improving fuel
economy at moderate throttle openings and consistent
RPMs. The E-Street ECU will adjust fuel trims to meet
the cruise setpoint whenever the throttle is greater
than 12° but not exceeding 50° and when the engine
RPM is greater than 1400 RPM. The Cruise Air Fuel
Ratio setpoint is usually the leanest of the three AFR
Setpoints. Suggest Cruise AFR Range 13.0 – 14.0.
FLOOD CLEAR: In the event of fuel flooding during start
up, a flood clear can be achieved by holding the throttle
wide open for some duration during cranking. This shuts
off all injectors and should assist in clearing the plenum of
all raw fuel.

Brochure No. 63-3600
c. The Wide Open Throttle AFR Setpoint is used to
tune engine performance whenever the Throttle
Position has exceeded 50° and Engine RPM is greater
than 1400 RPM. This is usually the richest (smaller
AFR Setpoint value) of the three setpoints and can
be affected by engine displacement, camshaft
grind, vehicle gearing, vehicle weight and vehicle
aerodynamics. This number should be tuned for
best performance with no regard for fuel economy.
Be aware that too lean of an AFR Setpoint (bigger
setpoint value) for WOT could damage your engine.
Suggested WOT AFR Range 12.0 – 12.8.
ACCEL FUEL TUNING TIPS
a. Make changes in small increments to the PUMP
SHOT and SHOT DURATION separately. Test how
the throttle responds when revving the engine
aggressively in neutral, then in gear from a dead
stop. A lazy stumbling condition may be too much
fuel. A delay in acceleration or pop back through the
intake may indicate too little fuel. If the engine revs
good initially then stumbles, try adjusting the SHOT
DURATION. If the engine stumbles initially then
accelerates, try adjusting the PUMP SHOT. Try to find
an adjustment that works best in all conditions.
NOTE: The AFR Setpoint (AFR SP) and Actual AFR (AFR)
can be monitored as bar graphs on the bottom of the
E-Tuner and Vitals Gauge Displays. On the E-Tuner
Display, the amount of Fuel Correction (AFR COR)
being applied can also be monitored. As the E-Street
ECU makes the necessary Fuel Trim adjustments
to meet the AFR Setpoint (AFR SP), it will store the
adjustments to the Fuel Modifier Table. The amount of
Fuel Correction (AFR COR) should become minimal and
the Actual AFR (AFR) bar graph should become stable
and aligned with the AFR Setpoint bar (AFR SP) during
most driving conditions. Under certain conditions like
hard acceleration and deceleration, it is normal to see
excessive corrections (AFR COR) and erratic Actual AFR
(AFR) readings.
b. The PUMP SHOT controls the amount of additional
fuel added for the Accel Fuel event. The PUMP
SHOT has a range of 0.000 to 2.000, 1.000 being
the base setpoint that should perform adequately for
most applications. Changes can be made in .020
increments.
c. The SHOT DURATION controls the duration of the
Accel Fuel event. The SHOT DURATION has a range
of 1.0 to 10.0. For most applications, 5.0 is the default
value. Changes can be made in increments of 1.0.
5. Rev Limiter Adjustment
- Use this function to
adjust the rev limiter. An Engine RPM Rev Limiter has
been provided to protect against over revs that may
damage engine components. Default RPM on tablet is
6000 RPM. The Rev Limiter value may be adjusted in
50 RPM increments. When Engine RPM exceeds the
set point the Fuel Injectors will be shut off until engine
speed drops below the setpoint.
3. Idle Tuning / Cal TPS
- This function helps you
readjust your Idle Settings, AC Idle Compensation and
reset the TPS. If mechanical adjustments are made to
the Idle Speed Screw on the Throttle Body, the Calibrate
TPS procedure should be performed in this section.
Throttle position at idle speed must be 10°.
6. Fan Controls
- Two Cooling Fan Controls are
provided. The default temperature for both controls is
172 degree Fahrenheit. When the E-Street EFI Coolant
Temperature Sensor reads 172 degrees, both fan
outputs will become active. The fan control outputs will
shut off when Coolant Temperature drops approximately
10 degrees below the setpoint. The active setpoints
can be set to any desired temperature. The active
setpoints can be staged to reduce coolant temperature
oscillation when fans are activated. Ex: Fan 1= 180
and Fan 2= 190. See Fig. 9.
4. Accel Fuel Tuning
- The Accel Fuel Adjustments
have the same functions as an accelerator pump on
a carburetor. These adjustments add extra fuel in the
event of a rapid throttle opening. The more rapidly you
open the throttle the more fuel your engine requires to
prevent hesitation. The numbers in these adjustments
are only relative and have no units.

FAN / AC TRIGGER INSTALLATION
The diagrams provided on Page 21 are to assist in the installation of switch triggers for electric fans and AC kick up using
the provide pigtails (not pre-installed). The E-Street EFI uses low voltage switched ground outputs for electric fan triggers
and a low voltage switched ground AC kick up input. These triggers are controlled by the ECU using parameters defined in
the E-Tuner software. The pinouts for the fan outputs are: Pinout 29 - Fan #1 and Pinout 30 - Fan #2 (See Pinout Diagram
on Main Harness Schematic ). The AC kick up trigger, Pinout 7, is a ground input used to bump the idle when the AC is
switched on. The Fan trigger(s) and AC kick up trigger must be used in conjunction with a 30 AMP automotive relay (not
included). Each accessory trigger will require its own 30 AMP automotive relay.
NOTE: Auxiliary Outputs are rated at 1.5 AMP max and must be configured to activate with a relay (not included). DO NOT
connect ECU fan outputs directly to the fans. DO NOT connect AC compressor clutch switch directly to the E-Street ECU.
Pigtail Installation
To install the provided pigtails, use a small flathead screwdriver to push in the large locking tab (Image A). Insert the
pigtail(s) to the appropriate pinout(s), on the harness side of the connector, until the pigtail is fully seated. When complete,
push down on the two small tabs to re-lock the locking tab (Image B).

INSTALLATION INSTrucTIONS
PLeASe study these instructions carefully before beginning the installation. This installation may require drilling and possible
welding to the vehicle’s fuel tank or sending unit. If you do not feel comfortable performing this installation or have never worked
with automotive fuel systems before, it is highly recommended to have the installation completed by a Professional Mechanic. If
you have any questions, please call our Technical Hotline at: 1-800-416-8628, Monday - Friday, 7:00 am - 5:00 pm, Pacific
Standard Time.
WARNING!
DO NOT attempt to modify the fuel tank until all fuel and fuel vapors have been properly removed from the tank. Prior to
starting the installation, make sure to eliminate all potential fire hazards as fuel leakage can occur when loosening the
fuel system connections and components. Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation
will void the manufacturer’s warranty and may result in poor performance and engine or vehicle damage.
deScrIPTION
P/N 3604 is a complete fuel system designed to work in conjunction with the Edelbrock E-Street EFI system (#3600). This system can
also be used as a stand-alone fuel system, used on other Edelbrock EFI systems, as well as other EFI systems in the market. This kit
requires the use of a “Return” type fuel pressure regulator as well as a return line, both included. This kit will include all necessary
components, except for fuel tank modification components (if applicable), and is compatible with all Edelbrock EFI systems.
CAUTION: Due to the high fuel pressure used by the E-Street EFI system, the supplied 3/8 inch high pressure rubber fuel line
MUST be used as the primary fuel line. If supplying your own high pressure fuel line, a minimum of SAE J30R9 (100PSI)
working pressure must be used. Additional fuel fittings will be required.
NOTE: THIS FUEL SYSTEM REQUIRES A MECHANICAL FUEL PUMP BLOCK-OFF PLATE, GASKET, AND BOLTS SPECIFIC
FOR YOUR APPLICATION (NOT INCLUDED).

INSTALLATION TIPS and procedures
6. Determine the ideal mounting location for the new high
pressure electronic fuel pump and primary fuel filter using
the supplied mounting hardware. The primary fuel filter
and the fuel pump must be mounted at or below the lowest
point of the fuel tank. The fuel pump must also be mounted
within 3 feet of the fuel tank as it is designed to push fuel
from the rear of the vehicle, towards the engine bay. Fuel
pump failure will occur if not mounted within the required
specification.
Make sure to perform the installation in a well ventilated area
away from any potential fire hazards. Gasoline fumes are toxic
and highly flammable.
1. Disconnect the NEGATIVE (-) terminal on the battery.
2. Release the pressure in the fuel system by removing the gas
cap.
3. Remove the fuel lines from the factory mechanical fuel pump
and unbolt the fuel pump from the engine. Thoroughly clean
the block’s mating surface and install a fuel pump block-off
plate (required - not included) specific for your application.
Make sure to use the appropriate fuel pump block-off plate
gasket and bolts.

Fuel Filter
NOTE: If using a low pressure electric fuel pump, a fuel
pump block-off plate may already be present. All other
components of the electric fuel pump must be removed.
Fuel Pump
3’ Max
NOTE: Additional mounting brackets, not included in this
kit, may be required to securely mount the fuel pump and
fuel filters. Please note that the fuel pump is directional
and must be installed with the terminal connections flowing
towards the engine (See Figure 2 on Page 1).
4. Disconnect the factory hard line from the fuel tank sending
unit.
NOTE: The factory hard lines can be completely removed
if not used as a return line (see Step 5). If not removing or
using as a return line, it is recommended to cap the ends of
the factory hard line to prevent contamination.
7. Using the 3/8” high pressure fuel line, connect the fuel outlet
on the fuel tank sending unit to the primary fuel filter. Cut the
fuel line to length as needed and secure with hose clamps.
5. To ensure proper fuel pressure and delivery, a bypass fuel
return line inlet must be installed onto the fuel tank sending
unit at this time. There are three options for installing a
bypass return line:
NOTE: The supplied 3/8” high pressure rubber fuel line must
be used as the main fuel supply line.
8. Connect the primary fuel filter to the fuel pump using the
3/8” fuel line. Cut fuel line to length as needed and secure
with hose clamps.
NOTE: If a fuel return line is not present, modifications to the
fuel tank are required to route the fuel return line through
the sending unit plate back into the tank. The first two
methods listed below require welding and should be done
by a Professional.
9. Determine the ideal mounting location for the secondary fuel
filter. This can be anywhere between the fuel pump and the
fuel pressure regulator. Securely mount secondary fuel filter
using the supplied mounting clamp.
Please refer to Page 3 for more details on the three bypass
fuel return line methods.
NOTE: The primary and secondary fuel filters must be used
in conjunction to avoid contaminating the fuel pump and the
EFI system. Any failures associated with contaminants will
void the warranty of the fuel pump and the EFI system (if
applicable).
1. Rubber Return Line (Supplied 5/16” Rubber Line) or SAE
J30R7 (50 PSI) working pressure:
a. Method 1a - Weld in a 5/16” hard line inlet onto the
sending unit cover plate.
10. Connect the 3/8” fuel line to the fuel pump and secure with
a hose clamp. Route the fuel line towards the secondary
fuel filter. Cut fuel line to length as needed and secure with
a hose clamp.
b. Method 1b - Install a -6 AN Bulkhead fitting onto the
sending unit cover plate (does not require welding).
2. Use the vehicle’s existing fuel hard line as the fuel return
line with modification to the sending unit and pick-up.
NOTE: DO NOT route fuel line around sharp objects, moving
components or exhaust components.
3. Use the vehicle’s existing return line (if equipped) as the
fuel return line.
NOTE: Whichever method you use to install the fuel return
line, it is very important to locate the in-tank fuel return
line, as far away as possible, from the fuel pick-up (fuel
feed line). This will eliminate any aerated return fuel that
can be drawn into the fuel pickup.

13. Connect the POSITIVE (+) and NEGATIVE (-) leads on the fuel
pump harness, supplied in the EFI kit (if applicable), to the
fuel pump accordingly (See Figure 3).
20. If using this fuel system on the Edelbrock E-Street (#3600),
the vacuum fitting on the fuel pressure regulator must
reference atmospheric pressure (leave unplugged).
14. Route the fuel pump harness and fuel return line towards the
front of the vehicle into the engine bay.
NOTE: If using this kit on other EFI systems, please refer
to the EFI’s Owner’s Manual for additional information on
Vacuum Pressure reference.
NOTE: DO NOT route around sharp objects, moving
components or exhaust components. Make sure the fuel
lines and fuel pump harness do not hang below the chassis.
21. If using the Edelbrock E-Street EFI system, the supplied relay
harness will connect to the Fuel Pump connector on the
E-Street main harness and the female end will connect to
the fuel pump harness. The power lead on the relay harness
must be connected to a Constant +12V source.
15. Secure the fuel lines and fuel pump harness using the
provided tie wraps, every 8-10 inches. Additional tie wraps
may be required.

EFI system, please refer to the installation manual of that
system for specific fuel pump priming procedures.
Return to Tank
17. Using the supplied Twist-Lok fittings (See Figure 4), connect
the 3/8” fuel line from the secondary fuel filter to the fuel
pressure regulator inlet. Trim fuel line to length as needed.
Pump will make a pumping/priming noise for 5-8 seconds
when the key is first turned on. Fuel pressure can also be
verified with a fuel pressure gauge (if equipped). If using
the Edelbrock E-Street EFI system, the fuel pressure can be
monitored on the Display Screens using the tablet. If pump
is not priming, verify that the fuel pump harness and relay
harness are installed correctly.
NOTE: Twist-Lok fittings do not require additional hose
clamps.
Depending on your application and specific routing needs,
additional fuel fittings may be required. These fittings are
available at your local Russell Performance dealer. The
regulator uses -6 AN fittings.
24. If the fuel pump is cycling, the fuel system can now be primed.
This is done by cycling the key on and off 3-4 times to build a
steady pressure in the fuel system. Once the fuel system has
been primed, the installation of the fuel system is complete.
18. Using the supplied Twist-Lok fittings and the 3/8” fuel line,
connect the fuel pressure regulator to the fuel rail of the EFI
system (See Figure 4). Trim fuel line to length as needed.
NOTE: It is not advised to start the vehicle until the completion
of the EFI installation. Once the vehicle can be started, double
check all fuel connections for leaks.
19. Using the supplied fittings (if using supplied 5/16” rubber fuel
line), connect the fuel return line to the bottom fitting on the
fuel pressure regulator (See Figure 4).

RUBBER RETURN LINE
HARD RETURN LINE METHOD
Method 1a - Weld in a 5/16” Hard Line Fitting
WARNING: It is never recommended to perform any type of
welding on your existing fuel sending unit as fuel and fuel vapors
may be present. To avoid fire hazards, it’s highly recommended
to perform this method on a brand new sending unit.
Remove the sending unit from the fuel tank and discard. Drill a
5/16” hole in the sending unit plate adjacent to where the main
line enters the tank. This will be the hole for your return line.
Insert a straight 5/16” hard line (available at most radiator
shops) into the hole so that the line extends 1-2 inches on both
sides of the sending unit plate. Secure the hard line and weld it
to the sending unit cover plate. Attach at least 18-24 inches of
5/16” submersible fuel hose (Gates #27093 SA30R10 or
equivalent) to the hard line that will extend into the fuel tank,
secure with a hose clamp. Direct the in-tank fuel line away
from the pick-up and secure it to the fuel pickup line using tie
wraps. Install the sending unit cover plate onto the fuel tank.
Use the factory hard fuel supply line as a return line.
