Performer AMC/Jeep heads: complete #60139 and bare #60129. Performer RPM AMC/Jeep heads: complete #60119 and bare #60109. Available spring ’04, the new Performer RPM Pro-Flo EFI system #3530 for 1967-69 AMC V8s and #3531 for 1970-1991 AMC/Jeep V8s includes all the outstanding features of the rest of the Edelbrock Pro-Flo EFI line. This includes: speed/density system to provide total engine control without a laptop computer; assembled induction module with aluminum Edelbrock intake, 4V throttle body, fuel rails and injectors; ECM; wiring harness; all required sensors; a calibration module (an Edelbrock exclusive); billet distributor and fuel pump.
