Intake Manifold Assembly (LU3)

  1. If reusing the fastener, apply threadlock GM P/N 12345382 (Canadian P/N 10953489) or equivalent, to the threads of the fuel meter body bracket bolt.
    NOTE: Refer to FASTENER NOTICE in Cautions and Notices.
  2. Install the fuel meter body bracket and bolt.

    Tighten 

    Tighten the fuel meter bracket bolt to 10 N.m (89 lb in).

    Important:  All injector lines must face forward as the fuel meter body is snapped into the bracket. Also, the number three fuel tube must be positioned behind the number one fuel tube to eliminate interference with the upper intake manifold when installed.

  3. Install the fuel meter body into the fuel meter body bracket.

  4. Install the 6 injections into the proper lower intake manifold bores in proper sequence (3, 5, 1, 2, 4, 6).
  5. Inspect the injectors in order to ensure that they are firmly seated and locked in the lower intake manifold bores.
  6. Ensure that the electrical connections of the injectors are positioned so that they do not interfere with each other, and are pointing towards the center of the intake manifold. Rotate the electrical connector inboard if necessary. Also, ensure there is not tension on the injector wires.
  7. Install a NEW upper intake manifold to lower intake manifold gasket into the groove of the upper intake manifold.
  8. Install the upper intake manifold onto the lower intake manifold.
