Throttle body is not such a vital organ that it needs to be spec'd, really.


just alternate tightening bolts one across from the other until they are all hand tight, thats how i did it, no complaints.

Tighten enough so that the EGR spacer doesn't leak any water.

Never seen a 302 Ford with a distributor in the back.... But I have seen the uppers turned the other way, i.e., trucks and other passanger cars.

I saw the distributor in the back/front before I posted the pics and couldn't figure out way either, by the shop manual says that it cross references All Cars & Truck Models so who knows what it's a pics of.
The funny part is it looks like a 4 cyl distributor from what I can tell.
But the Torque Specs are right.
