I'm going to put in my Kirban AFPR soon and want to know if anyone here has installed one on a car with an Edelbrock Performer (non RPM). Did you take off the upper intake? Any tips, suggestions, ideas here would be great.

Did anyone re-use their gasket also? If not, which one should I get?

which gaskets are you taling about?

edelbrock performers use a unique gasket between upper/lower. it won't match the HO intake, it won't match the cobra/gt-40/explorer intake. It will match the performer rpm intake, however.

I'm talking about the gasket between the upper and lower intake.

you can reuse the gasket, just be careful not to break it

I took off my upper for extra clearance and it did help since my hands and arms had more room to move around. I also RE-used my gasket because it isn't a little flimsy fiber/cork gasket. It is like hard rubber compound or something and is pretty durable AS LONG AS YOU ARE CAREFUL taking it off.

Let's say I mess up and it doesn't come off clean. What gasket should I buy? If anyone has a brand and part number that'd be great.

I was able to put in an afpr on my 88 GT, it too had an edelbrok performer (non rpm), and I didnt have to take off the intake at all. I just simply took of the stock one, and put my bbk unit on. Took about 20 minutes...if that. I also hooked up my fuel pressure gauge in that 20 minutes.

Easy if you ask me.
