hey guys, i'm just starting to take my car out of storage, and i've got some corrosion on my valve covers, and other such parts. I'm just wondering if anybody has any torque specs that they could share, so i could torque stuff back down properly? any guidelines would be fabulous.

what specifically do you want the torque specs for?

 

I want to take off my upper intake, throttle body, and intake so that I can get at my valve covers, to take them out and clean them. The car is an "89, but the engine is a 302, and basically brand new. I believe my upper intake is made by edelbrock, but I dunno what exactly it's called. I was kinda just wondering if anybody knew some torque specs, or where I could find a web page or something where they were all listed.

 

the best thing to do is get a haynes/chilton manual. It has every torque spec you can think of and comes in handy all the time, plus their only like 15 bucks

 

yeah i got one for my car for about 17

 

This is from the 89 Ford Shop Manual

 

thanks guys, that last post was pretty much what i was looking for. I think I'm gonna pick up a manual tomorrow, or very soon-ish. The wife works at Lordco, so it shouldn't be hard. Gotta get the engine shining!
