The Edelbrock Performer #2101 intake manifold is designed for street 1955-86 small-block Chevys. Edelbrocks Patented Dual-plane, low-rise design with a 180-degree firing order greatly improves torque over a wide rpm range for excellent throttle response from off-idle through 5500rpm. Not for 1987 and later cast iron or Chevy Bowtie heads. Will fit 1987 and later stock aluminum heads. The Edelbrock Performer #2101 also features a natural aluminum finish for a classic look. For the ultimate "Made in USA" quality, every Edelbrock intake manifold is cast and machined in the USA.

• DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN NPT/Pipe fittings, this may cause the aluminum to crack around the fitting boss. NPT/Pipe thread is a tapered thread.
• Hardened washers Must be used with intake bolts to ensure proper torque and prevent galling of the aluminum.
