To find the correct torque specification, you must consult:
1. The Edelbrock instructions that came with your specific intake manifold: This is the most reliable source. The instructions will detail the proper tightening sequence and torque values for your particular manifold.
2. Edelbrock's website: Search their website using your intake manifold's part number. They may have installation instructions available for download as a PDF.
3. A reputable automotive repair manual: A manual specific to your year and model of Pontiac will often include general torque specifications for intake manifolds, but it might not be precise for an aftermarket Edelbrock part. Use this as a *last resort* and only if you can't find the Edelbrock-specific instructions.
Do not attempt to install the intake manifold without the correct torque specifications. Using incorrect torque can lead to warped surfaces, gasket leaks, and even engine damage.
