Hi all,

 Anyone know the proper torque specs? Shop manual from Chevrolet says 130 in lbs.  

Other publications say :

7-9 ft lbs

10 1/2 - 13 ft lbs

84 -90 in lbs

Does anyone know ? 

Thanks

Vette(s): 1972 conv, 4-speed, 350, 200hp, numbers match, rally wheels, war bonnett yellow w/white top. good condition, nice driver.

I don't KNOW, but think it would depend on the type of gasket used. Neoprene -v- rubber -v- cork. Are you assembling it dry or wet?  Have to be careful of squish factor!

Using cork gasket. Installing it dry. What do you suggest? Thanks

Vette(s): 1972 LT-1 convertible with factory air. 2017 Black Rose Grand Sport M7 convertible.

My 72 GM Service manual says 130 inch lbs.  Not sure if that helps.
