Edelbrock 7166 Performer RPM Intake Manifold Bolt Torque Sequence Diagram
Edelbrock V8 intake manifold showing the numbered bolt torque tightening sequence around the gasket surface.
This document is a top-view line drawing of an Edelbrock Performer RPM intake manifold, casting/part number 7166, showing the recommended bolt-tightening sequence. Sixteen circled callout numbers (1 through 16) are arranged around the manifold's perimeter, indicating the order in which the intake manifold bolts should be tightened — starting near the center bolts and working outward in an alternating top/bottom pattern, ending with the outermost corner bolts (15 and 16). The manifold itself carries cast lettering reading "Edelbrock" and "PERFORMER RPM," along with runner/port numbers 1–4 on the upper runners and 5–8 on the lower runners, identifying the cylinders each intake port feeds. The drawing shows a dual-plane manifold with a square-bore carburetor mounting pad in the center. No torque values (ft-lb specifications), thread sizes, or year/model applicability statements appear in the image — only the bolt sequence numbering and cast identification markings. A reader can learn the correct 16-bolt tightening order for installing this Edelbrock 7166 Performer RPM intake manifold and identify the part by its casting number. The scan was uploaded to a 1979 Ford Bronco gallery, though the document itself does not state a vehicle application.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the bolt tightening sequence for the Edelbrock 7166 Performer RPM intake manifold?
- The diagram shows a 16-bolt sequence numbered 1 through 16, alternating between the top and bottom rows and working outward: positions 1–4 near the center, then 5–12 progressively outward, with 13 and 14 on the right end and 15 and 16 on the left end tightened last.
- How many bolts does this intake manifold use?
- The diagram shows 16 numbered bolt positions around the manifold.
- What part number is shown on the manifold?
- The casting number 7166 is shown on the right side of the manifold, along with the cast lettering "Edelbrock" and "PERFORMER RPM."
- Does this diagram give torque values in ft-lbs?
- No. The diagram only shows the tightening order (bolt positions 1–16); no torque values are printed on this document.
