I just installed a holley afpr and the wheel on the fpr is hitting the plenum. Do i grind some metal off the wheel or off the plenum? What tool should i use? And is there a better way?

 

grind the medal on the plenum. Thats what i had to do on my 89. All i used was a file. It took some time but it evenutally worked.

 

Thanks. I'm bout to go do that right now

 

what wheel are you refering too? the adjusting screw?

 

yea the adjusting screw. i got it to fit. just used a file

 

That is strange... it fit just fine on my 87.

 

thats why i asked, fit fine on my plenum too. probably just had it screwed out too far?

 

the holley afpr is different from most. It has a wheel(the top of the afpr) that you can turn with your fingers, in place of a screw. I think maybe the rails are not bolted down all the why, or something

 

mine fit fine to, no grinding needed

 

oh i got ya. still weird it wouldnt clear, i think terrell is correct.

 

on my 89, when i put my holley afpr, when i screwed it all the way down it would clear my plenum. If i turned the **** 1/4 up it will start hitting the plenum. since i wanted maximum adjustability i took off my plenum and grinded it down a bit. And everything was bolted down correctly. G-ride , just grind the plenum.

 

When i put everything back together i had plenty of room but before i bolted the plenum it looked like it wasen't going to fit. Car fired up fine but now i got to fix a leak on my smog pump.

 

only proper way to fix it is to remove it!
