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 in all 50 states. To assist you with emission equipment certification, we have included a silver
fan shroud decal to help testing personnel verify the this part is a legal replacement on the vehicle for which it is cataloged. The
adhesive-backed decal should be affixed next to the existing emission and engine specifications decal. Do not cover any part of your
original emission decal.

WARNING:

The use of "Thermal Wrap" or any aftermarket coating process 

will void the warranty

on your Edelbrock Headers.

Those products will cause excessive heat and moisture buildup resulting in corrosion and failure of the header.

NOTE: High temperature spark plug wires and boots are recommended to withstand heat from Headers.
