CAMSHAFT: Edelbrock Performer RPM camshafts are ground specifically for use with the corresponding Performer RPM manifold. The Performer

RPM manifold #7193, and Performer RPM camshaft #7194, 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 package with the carburetor and headers we

recommend. The Performer RPM camshafts are designed for use with modified or high performance cylinder heads and valve train components

only. High Performance adjustable rocker arms or adjustable pushrods 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 (750 cfm)

• fuel delivery system of sufficient capacity

• 1-7/8" headers

• 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 experienced mechanic.

CAUTION:

Proper installation is the responsibility of the installer. Improper installation will void warranty and may result in low

mileage, poor performance, costly reinstallation and engine or vehicle damage.

TO AVOID THESE PROBLEMS YOU MUST DO THE FOLLOWING:

Carefully study and understand all instructions.

Examine the camshaft for possible shipping damage (if damaged contact your dealer immediately).

PREPARATION CHECKLIST

3. Drain radiator coolant, move fan shroud back and remove fan and

spacer from water pump. On air conditioned vehicles, remove bolt,

lower idler pulley and compressor-to-water pump mount. Disconnect

hoses and brackets. Most vehicles will require radiator removal prior

to cam removal. Remove water pump.
