Default Intake manifold
Is there a certain sequence to tighten bolts when installing an intake manifold on a stock 37 V8? I believe the torque setting is between 23 - 25 lbs.

I agree but would add "in a circular pattern".

I'll give Coop a big AMEN here. Ford mechanics didn't use torque wrenches.

Yeah, I just wait until my 'elbow pops' . . . 1 pop is for intake bolts, 2 pops are for head bolts, 5 pops for rear axle brake-drum hub nuts . . .
