• PLEASE study these instructions carefully before installing your new camshaft. If you have any questions or problems, do not hesi-

tate to call our Technical Hotline at: 1-800-416-8628.

• CAMSHAFT: Edelbrock Performer RPM camshafts are ground specifically for use with the corresponding Performer RPM mani-

fold. The Performer RPM manifold #7101, and Performer RPM camshaft #7102, are designed to work as a team to give you better

driveability and performance. They are dyno-matched and street-proven. For best results, use the Edelbrock manifold/camshaft pack-

age with the carburetor and headers we recommend. The Performer RPM camshafts are designed for use with modified or high per-

formance cylinder heads and valve train components only. Screw-in studs and H.P. adjustable rocker arms must be used.

NOTE: Maximum performance is achieved only when the Edelbrock Performer RPM Power Package components are used with the

following equipment:

• Performer RPM manifold/camshaft/timing set/valve springs

• Performer Series carburetor #1407 • 1-3/4" headers

• fuel delivery system of sufficient capacity • aftermarket/re-curved distributors

• IMPORTANT: This instruction sheet provides general installation guidelines which can affect your warranty. Read it carefully. It is

not our intent to cover each detail of installation here; a step-by-step procedure manual would be far too lengthy. We want to caution

you that installing a camshaft is a complicated procedure that requires a good general knowledge of automotive engines. If you are

not confident that you can complete the camshaft installation successfully, we suggest you consider having it installed by an experi-

enced mechanic.

CAUTION: Improper installation will result in LOW MILEAGE, POOR PERFORMANCE, COSTLY REINSTALLATION,

and ENGINE DAMAGE. TO AVOID THESE PROBLEMS YOU MUST DO THE FOLLOWING: Carefully study and under-

stand all instructions. Examine the camshaft for possible shipping damage (if damaged contact you dealer immediately).
