INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STOP!

BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION,

READ THESE IMPORTANT NOTES…

❑ You must purchase a separate Edelbrock Fuel Pump Kit for this installation; single fuel tank

vehicles use Edelbrock #3581, dual-tank vehicles use #3580.

❑ Check the Kit Contents and Suggested Tools lists on page 2 to be sure that you have all

items necessary to finish installation.

❑ Make sure this kit is for your vehicle.

❑ The kits are designed to work with stock engines with stock compression ratios. The

#3564 and #3565 are designed to work with the GM #12371054 502 c.i.d. crate engine.

❑ You must change your computer chip for this kit to function on your vehicle and be

emissions legal. Complete the Chip Information Card and return to Edelbrock. We will send
the computer chip within the continental U.S., free of charge via UPS second day air. Orders
outside of the continental U.S. will be shipped via the best method at the same costs as
continental UPS second day air. If requested, customers may pay for expedited shipping
by providing a current Visa or Master Card.

❑ Your vehicle’s wiring harness and electronics must be in good shape or you may not get

maximum performance and/or may experience problems. The TBI will work with less
adequate connections, but the Performer Multi-Point EFI System is much more sensitive
than a stock TBI.

❑ Read all instructions before beginning installation.

❑ Note that fuel tank or bed of pick-up must be removed.

❑ 1987-1991 vehicles with cruise control MUST use Edelbrock throttle/cruise/kickdown

cable bracket #8031. Order from your Edelbrock dealer before beginning installation.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS
For ordering your FREE Edelbrock computer chip.

You must use

an Edelbrock chip with the Performer Multi-Point EFI conversion

You must change the computer chip in your stock computer (ECU) for proper functioning and maximum performance with the
Edelbrock Performer Multi-Point EFI for 7.4L or 8.2L Chevy/GMC engines.

To receive your ECU chip, please complete the attached postage-paid card and send to Edelbrock. After receiving your card,

Edelbrock will send the computer chip within the continental U.S., free of charge via UPS second day air. Orders
outside of the continental U.S. will be shipped via the best method at the same costs as continental UPS second
day air. If requested, customers may pay for expedited shipping by providing a current Visa or Master Card.

When filling out your information card, please print c

learly.

1. The ECM is accessible in pick-ups by removing the glove box liner. This requires removing four (4) small hex head screws
and pulling out the liner. The ECM sits vertically in a plastic cradle on the far right side of the dash with the connectors
facing to the rear.

2. The Broadcast Code is stamped on a white paper label, located on the top of the ECM. Typical codes for the 5.7L run
from AKSM to BDXX, increasing alphabetically with later release dates.

There is a plastic decal on the bottom of the glove compartment with a list of the RPO codes for that vehicle.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

for Performer Multi-Point EFI System

for 7.4L TBI-Equipped Chevrolet/GMC Vehicles
Catalog #3562 and #3564 for 1987-1990 Model Years
Catalog #3563 and #3565 for 1991-1995 Model Years

• APPLICATION INFORMATION: Performer Multi-Point EFI Systems are designed for 1987-1990 (#3562 and #3564) and

1991-1995 (#3563 and #3565) 7.4L Chevy/GMCs originally equipped with Throttle Body Injection. These complete
systems utilize the stock computer and throttle body unit for a simple and effective conversion to multi-point fuel injection.
Fuel is injected directly into each port in the head for ideal fuel distribution and efficiency.

• TECHNICAL SUMMARY: In 1987, Chevrolet introduced their Throttle Body Injection (TBI) systems. Produced from 1987
to 1995 on all pick-up trucks and Suburbans, this TBI system was essentially an intermediate step between a carburetor
and true port (multi-point) fuel injection. In these TBI systems, two injectors are positioned above the throttle blades of a
two-barrel throttle body and fuel is injected into the manifold, much like a carbureted system. This arrangement suffers
from distribution problems because the fuel spray from the injectors does not stay in suspension with the incoming air,
resulting in uneven distribution. Our Performer Multi-Point Systems include an intake manifold designed to deliver an
equal air charge to each cylinder. Each injector delivers exactly the same amount of fuel to each cylinder for an extremely
even air/fuel ratio from cylinder-to-cylinder. This permits us to tune the system for ideal fuel and spark delivery for more
horsepower, torque and improved mileage.

Performer Multi-Point Systems include all parts needed to make the conversion. The stock TBI unit is retained as an air
valve and the factory computer (re-programmed) is also retained to control the injectors in a batch-fire mode. In the
Edelbrock systems, all of the factory sensors are retained and fully functional. The compact size was achieved by using
extruded aluminum fuel rails with new Magnetti Marelli®pico injectors. These are half the size of conventional style
injectors.

• SPECIAL NOTICE: This Edelbrock part has received an Executive Order number (E.O. #) from the California Air Resources
Board (C.A.R.B.) making it legal for street use on pollution-controlled motor vehicles in all 50 states. To assist you with
emissions inspection, we have included a silver fan shroud decal to verify that this part is a legal replacement part on the
vehicle for which it is cataloged. The adhesive-backed decal should be affixed to your fan shroud next to the existing
emission and engine specification decal. Do not cover your original equipment specification decal with the Edelbrock fan
shroud decal. E.O.# decal is shipped with the computer chip .

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1. Disconnect negative battery cable.

2. Drain coolant.

3. Remove air cleaner assembly.

4. Label all lines, wires, and connections with masking tape

before disassembly to aid in re-assembly. Disconnect all

throttle cables and accessories, disconnect all vacuum lines to
throttle body. Disconnect both fuel lines at rear of throttle body.
Be careful of line pressure. Remove 3 throttle body mounting
bolts and remove throttle body.

Remove top alternator mounting bolt and the bolt holding the
belt tension assembly. Remove two bolts that hold bracket to left
front support base, which is mounted to the two left front
manifold bolts. Remove bracket assembly. NOTE: On later
vehicles, this procedure may not be required.

9. Alternator has a support bracket running from the two left front
intake manifold bolts to the rear of the fan belt tension assembly
and the upper alternator bolt (this will be re-used during
assembly). Release the belt tension using a ratchet and socket,
then remove the fan belt.

8. The electronic vacuum regulator valve is mounted on the third
bolt from the front, on the right side of the manifold. When you
remove the bracket, there will be two support brackets running
from different locations on the backside of the A/C compressor,
both meeting the manifold at one spot. Remove bolts and
brackets. (Brackets will be re-used).

6. Disconnect vacuum fitting for power brake booster from intake
manifold.

7. Remove heater hose connection from the manifold (most will be
located at the right rear of the manifold).

5. Remove top radiator hose, remove thermostat housing and
thermostat. NOTE: Ground wires may be located on thermostat
mounting bolt. It is important to note the location of all ground
wires so they can be put back exactly as they were.

It is a good idea to replace your old thermostat at this time. For
proper ECM operation it must be the correct temperature, usually
195°F (check manufacturer's specifications). Remove the water
pump bypass hose located under the thermostat on front of the
manifold. Looking at the front of the engine, directly to the left of
the water pump bypass is the coolant temperature-sending unit.
Disconnect the electric connection, remove the sending unit and
set aside. It is better to remove sensor at this time to avoid
damage upon manifold removal. The sensor will be re-used in
the new manifold.
