• EGR SYSTEM: This manifold will not accept stock EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) equipment. EGR systems are used on some 1972 and later model vehicles and only in some states. Check local laws for requirements. Not legal in California on pollution-controlled motor vehicles.
• MANIFOLD: This manifold will not accept any O.E.M. carburetor systems. We recommend that you use the carburetors listed in the carburetor recommendations.
• ACCESSORIES & INSTALLATION ITEMS: Major recommendations are listed below. However, due to the variety of years, makes and models to be covered, please review each part listed in the Installation Items section of the Edelbrock catalog to decide whether more items are required for your specific vehicle than are mentioned in these instructions.
• POWER PACKAGE: Although the Edelbrock Performer manifold/carburetor change will provide excellent power gains over the O.E.M. equipment when installed alone, we recommend the use of headers, a hydraulic camshaft of approximately 270 degrees adver- tised duration, and a modified ignition advance curve for optimum results. CARBURETOR RECOMMENDATIONS: CAUTION-Use only carburetors recommended. If parts required for installation are unavailable locally, contact Edelbrock directly.
• BRACKETS
1. Due to the original carburetor configuration on Rover 3.5 litre engines, the throttle and kick-down linkage bracket on most model vehicles will require modification to fit. If this condition occurs with your installation, you may purchase the Edelbrock mounting bracket #8036 which will accept GM-style throttle, kick-down, and cruise-control cables.
2. Early and late model applications use different waterneck housings. The Performer Rover is designed to accept only the early style waterneck with integral water bypass outlet, which you may obtain from your Rover dealer. NOTE: If this outlet is unavailable in your area, the outlet from a 1967-1974 Buick V-8 is very similar. Its bypass hose fitting is sized for 5/8″ hose rather than 3/4″, and the 1-1/2″ hose outlet angle is slightly different.
• GASKETS AND SEALANT
CAUTION: Do not use high performance or competition-type intake gaskets for street application. Due to material deterioration under street driving conditions, internal leakage of both vacuum and oil may occur.
1. Use only O.E.M. or equivalent gaskets (Fel-Pro #MS96002) when installing Edelbrock manifolds for street applications.
2. Apply Edelbrock Gasgacinch sealant, #9300, to both sides of manifold as well as head surfaces. This procedure ensures a good seal.
