Bolt / Nut tightening torques
I’m still looking for a list of nut/bolt tightening torques for my A. One associate said Less Andrews has a page, but must be a different issue than mine.

If I recall correctly, Volume 1 has torque values on card stock on the last couple of pages in the book. EDIT: I was mistaken. The Specifiction Card at the end of Les Andrews Volume 1 does not contain torque values. By the way, you can search for "important errors contained in the les andrews books" on Google, and you will find a VFF link which attempts to document the Les Andrews torque value errors that are scattered across Volume 1.

Re: Bolt / Nut tightening torques
Be aware the Les recommended torque for oil pan bolts is way off, too much torque. If you torque to his listed , the gasket will squish out and wreck the gasket.

Re: Bolt / Nut tightening torques
Also, torque on manifolds are high, should be 30- 35 lbs.

Re: Bolt / Nut tightening torques
I corrected post #2 above.
I think this link may have what you are looking for, but the site is down at the moment, which is odd. That site normally is always up. https://www.brattons.com/specifications.html Here is a similar link from Mac's Auto Parts, but the Ford Barn site does not launch the Mac's link correctly, at least for me. I have enclosed the URL in double quotes so that the full URL will display, you can cut and paste (or manually type) the URL into a browser window, and the link should work. You can search for the word "torque" on the Mac's web page. "https://www.macsautoparts.com/ford_model_a/model-a-specs/" Last edited by shew01; 08-30-2020 at 06:52 AM. |

Re: Bolt / Nut tightening torques
Thanks shew01 - just what I was looking for. My project is on a little delay.....I had an emergency heart (pace maker) installed. My wife won’t let me go into the garage.
