I did run the Edelbrock manifold for several years on our RV8 and I think you you'll have the wrong thermostat housing at the momend.

One hose connection on the pump still goes to the metal pipe between your intakemanifold and engine and from there to your heater system.

The other conection still goes to your thermostathousing like the stock intake and from the back of your Edelbrock intake to your heater system.

If your present thermostat housing has only one big outlet for the rad hose you'll have the wrong one. There should be one small bypass conection below that big outlet.

Real Steel can suplie you with the correct one. I thought it was the Offy one I used on our Edelbrock intake.
