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.
