1972 Jeep Commando Performance Engines

Edelbrock part No: 7818 Performer-Link timing chain is for use with Edelbrock or stock cams. They have a solid-bushing chain for a true bearing surface that rolls with the sprockets, eliminating chain stretch. Cam sprockets are made from 35,000 psi tensile strength cast iron. Crank sprockets are made from billet SAE-1144 steel and induction heat treated. Four Performer-Link sets are stock replacement parts and 50-state legal (see listings in bold type). All other sets have three keyway setting points to ensure accurate timing selection for early or late-model vehicles. Performer-Link timing sets are not for use above 6500 rpm. Performer roller chain sets are engineered to operate up to 6500 rpm. Never hammer directly on chain or sprockets. You can crack the hardened links and pins and cause early failures. Use a sleeve for installations that require hammering, a brass drift punch may be used if you carefully alternate blows on either side of the sprocket to avoid cocking. Never stretch the chain with a screwdriver. Check for clearance between the timing chain and block and between the chain and front cover before reassembly. Be sure that both cam and crank sprockets are exactly in line with each other. Misalignment can cause chain to break.

Competition Cams High Energy Timing Set for ’69-’81 AMC 290-401 V8, 3218.

“Edelbrock Performer-Plus Camshaft No: 2132 is designed for 290-401 AMC V8 engines and produce optimum torque from the low-end to the mid-range. Performer-Plus camshafts should be matched with Performer manifolds for vehicles operating from off-idle to 5500 rpm. The Performer-Plus No: 2132 is a smooth idling cam for daily drivers, trucks, vans, RVs and 4x4s. You can expect a major improvement in throttle response and torque. In the manifold section you’ll find torque graphs showing the power gains from Performer manifolds and Performer-Plus cams. All camshafts include flat tappet lifters (except for cams designed for use with stock roller lifters), assembly lube and instructions. This cam produced 275 Ft Lbs of Torque when paired with Performer AMC intake manifold No: 2131 and stock cylinder heads. Camshaft specifications: – Intake duration: 204 Degrees – Exhaust duration: 214 Degrees – Intake lift: .448″” – Exhaust lift: .472″” – Lobe separation: 110 Degree – Intake Center Line: 105 Degree – Vacuum: 15″””

Mr. Gasket High Performance Thermostats are designed to resist large variations of coolant pressure at high RPM (revolutions per minute). This allows them to fully open at correct temperature consistently regardless of engine RPM. The design also provides the high flow that engines operated a higher RPM need. This thermostat also features a copper/brass construction to further resist corrosion. Mr. Gasket High Performance / High Flow Thermostats are suitable for street, drag race, or oval track applications.

The Edelbrock No: 5792 Sure Seat Valve Spring for Chrysler 383-400-413-440 V8 1969-79 O.E Cast iron cylinder heads are made of highest quality spring wire and precision wound to close tolerances, our Sure Seat Valve Spring sets are for use on original equipment heads when installing Edelbrock Performer-Plus, Performer RPM and Torker-Plus camshafts. These are the same high-performance springs used on Edelbrock Performer and RPM cylinder heads. For camshaft warranty compliance, use only the springs recommended by Edelbrock for each camshaft application.

“Edelbrock part No: 7329 head gasket is intended for AMC 304-401 CID V8 engines. This gasket comes as a set and has a 4.275″” bore size, .045″” compressed thickness and 10.6 cc volume. This gasket will fit the 304 AMC small bore applications even though the Edelbrock cylinder head will not. This head gasket is graphite with a steel core and has a stainless steel fire ring. Gasket is compatible with cast iron or aluminum cylinder heads.”

Edelbrock Valve Spring Retainers are made of superior quality steel and are machined and heat treated for maximum strength. They feature a black oxide finish to prevent rust and corrosion
