How many different Edelbrock intake manifolds are there?
Below are nine different Edelbrock intake manifold selections accompanied by a brief description as well as its operating range in RPM to help you select the best part for your application.
Which is the best Edelbrock air gap manifold?
An Edelbrock Performer is an ideal choice for muscle cars, hot rods, restomods, passenger cars, custom trucks, 4x4s and RVs. PERFORMER® AIR-GAP (IDLE – 5500 RPM) Performer Air-Gap manifolds offer the same performance-proven qualities of the Performer Series but with the addition of Edelbrock’s patented Air-Gap design.
When did they start making dual plane manifolds?
“Usually the camshafts and lifters are the limiting factors in developing dual-plane manifolds for the upper rpm ranges,” says Smith, who notes that Edelbrock started manufacturing intake manifolds in 1938. “We are conservative with our numbers, but there aren’t many hydraulic flat tappet lifters that can run 7,000 rpm.”
What does a dual plane intake manifold do?
This cutaway of a dual-plane manifold shows how each half of the manifold pulls from only one side of the carburetor during operation. Not necessarily. “Each manifold type has a purpose in the performance world,” explains Smitty Smith, technical sales coordinator at Edelbrock Performance.

What should clearance be on Edelbrock exhaust manifold?
Be sure the piston to valve clearance is correct, must have clearance of .100” intake and .100” on the exhaust. Be sure self-aligning rocker arms are not being used with guide plates. Be sure the timing chain set is installed correctly. Be sure you have clearance between the rocker arms and valve cover.
What happens if you run an Edelbrock at 2000 rpm?
Long durations of cranking engine will wipe lube off the cam and can cause cam failure. Do not allow the engine to run under 2000 rpm for the first 1/2 hour. Slow idle speeds may result in severe cam and lifter wear. Start the engine and bring to break-in rpm.
Can a Edelbrock lifter be primed before installation?
Edelbrock lifters are an anti-pump lifter design, these lifters should not be pumped up, primed, or soaked in oil. If the lifters get pumped up before the installation, the lifters will become solid and you will not be able to adjust the lifter preload, the valve will just be opened when valve adjustment is performed.
