• PLEASE study these instructions carefully before installing your new camshaft. If you have any questions or problems, do not hesitate to call our
Technical Hotline at: 1-800-416-8628.
• CAMSHAFT: Edelbrock Torker-Plus camshafts are ground specifically for use with the corresponding Torker II manifold. The Torker II manifold
#5001, and Torker-Plus camshaft #5002, 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 Torker-
Plus camshafts are designed for use with modified or high performance 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 Torker II Power Package components are used with the following equipment:
•
Torker II manifold/camshaft/timing set/valve springs
•
Performer Series carburetor #1407
•
fuel delivery system of sufficient capacity
• 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 com-
plete the camshaft installation successfully, we suggest you consider having it installed by an experienced 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 understand all instructions.
Examine the camshaft for possible shipping damage (if damaged contact you dealer immediately).
