Ok my papers did not give me a torque spec for my Edelbrock heads.i am new to the aluminum stuff. Do you just snug them down like on iron heads?I wanna have this Cobra running tomorrow. HELP!
Thanks, Phil.
BTW, Does anyone here go to Quaker City Drag way in Salem Ohio?

They only go to around 12ft-lbs, not very tight at all. Just turn it till they stop, then give it a final snugging. The edel heads run a gasketed plug so you may feel that crush the first time you install them.
