What is the torque specs on an edelbrock aluminum intake manifold for a chevy 396?

Edelbrock doesn't specify a single torque spec for all their aluminum intake manifolds on a Chevy 396. The torque specification will vary depending on the specific Edelbrock intake manifold model. The year and model of the 396 engine (e.g., a 396 from a 1965 Impala is different than a 396 from a 1970 Chevelle) and the type of bolts used (some use studs) may also play a role.

You MUST consult the instructions that came with YOUR specific Edelbrock intake manifold. These instructions will provide the correct torque sequence and specifications for your application.

If you don't have the instructions, you can try:

* Edelbrock's website: Search their website for your specific intake manifold part number. They may have the instructions available as a PDF download.

* Edelbrock's customer service: Contact Edelbrock directly; they should be able to help you find the correct torque specifications.

Using the wrong torque spec can damage your engine, leading to a warped intake manifold or even cracked heads. Don't risk it – find the correct information before proceeding.
