1986 4.3 cobra, recent purchase, blocked cracked.
Have new long block and have cleaned up the bilge area up. Ready to start putting everything back together. Have both a Clymer and Seloc manual. Neither are that great in my option. Anyway found most torque information but need help with the following:
Flywheel housing
Rear motor mount to motor
Fuel pump
Y exhaust pipe to transom
Transom Plate
No doubt the books have them and I'm just missing them.
Tks for any help

Ayuh,.... 1/4" bolts/ nuts get 'bout 15 ft.lbs,....
5/16" get 'bout 20,....
3/8" get 35,....
1/2" get 45/ 50 ft.lbs....

I torque all that you ask 'bout with my calibrated elbow, 'n not a torque wrench,....

The OEM manual likely has them. PM me for a link to one.

I don't have a calibrated elbow so I use a torque wrench a lot.
