Hey all, I just ordered manifolds and risers for my new to me 89 Advance. Does anyone know what the torque specs. are for the bolts (manifold and riser)?

Thanks in advance.

Manifold to head torque on my SBC was 25ft/lbs. I have no idea about the risers though. I would think 15-20ft/lbs would be more than sufficient based on bolt size. Having a clean, straight surface at the manifold/riser junction would be far more important to a good seal.
When people run down to the lake to see what is making that noise, you've succeeded.
