Barry, I've answered this question for you all three times you've asked me via PM. The answer, all three times and this fourth time, is 10 lb·ft. Continuing to ask the question will not change the answer.

Barry; Apparently you don't wish to believe Dan. Perhaps you'll believe the factory and your own eyes. Clean up the intake, and read the torque specs cast right onto it. You'll find they tell you 10 lbs/ft.

Or is there some other problem you're having that you think will be cured by excessive torque?

Roger

any more than 10 lbs will get you a cracked exhast manifold soooner or later.....soooner me thinks

hi guys ,heres the deal.i have a freind that has a dart and was putting the manifold on his.well i told him it was 10 ft pnds.because i did mine at 15pnds.and fixed that by the way.to 10 .pnds.but,this kid did not beleive me.even though i showed him Dans answers.so i wrote another one just in the post itsself for Dan and whoever to answer it for him.i havent seen him since but,i have this ready for him.so guys its not me.mine were set at 15 and w/dans answer i set them at 10 ft.pnds.again im set.i did this for a kid that didnt beleive me for some reason .thank you alland God Bless.bARRY

OK....sorry to have "jumped" on you.
Let your buddy know that the low torque is to allow the manifold to stretch and shrink as it cools. If the manifold isn't alowed to grow, he will surely end up with a cracked exhaust, probably somewhere around the area of the exhaust outlet and #3 or #4 exhaust port. I've also seen more than one rearmost manifold stud broken off by the same overtorquing. You can check it out, but there's been many exhausts cracked due to overtorquing.

Roger

Oh, fer…! A pissing contest by proxy? No thanks, I'm busy being a grownup.

Whoever the idiot is who doesn't want to believe you -- that's his problem. If he likes his answer better than the right answer -- that (and the results) are his problem, too. Not yours, and certainly not mine.
