• EGR SYSTEMS: Edelbrock EGR-equipped Performer manifolds are intended as a direct functionally identical replacement for their O.E.M.
counterparts. All exhaust emissions or emissions related stock components are intended to be retained and functional. Performer RPM intake
manifolds will not accept stock EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) equipment. EGR systems are used on most 1972 and later model vehicles.
Check local laws for requirements. Performer manifolds #2186 and 2191 are packaged with 2 pipe plugs. Install these plugs into the EGR
pad if an EGR valve will not be used in your application.

• ACCESSORIES & INSTALLATION ITEMS: Major recommendations are listed below. See our catalog for details. To order a catalog, call

modification to fit.

vacuum, oil, and coolant may occur.
