edelbrock header torque specs

[97snk]

What are the torque specs on these headers? I did a search and found that 40 ft/lbs on the mids but nothing on the tops...anyone?

17 ft/lbs should be plenty.

17 ft/lbs up top on heads and 40 ft/lbs on mid, sounds good...

I'd be careful about going too tight on the collector. I couldn't get a torque wrench on several of the allen head bolts. When I pulled mine off last, I had overtightened and seriously warped the copper gasket. You'll want a copper Cometic, if you don't have one already.
