New Group Project - 66 Torque Tables
« on: November 09, 2013, 07:55:38 PM »
Though not specifically "Concours" we all find our self at times needing quick access to the suggested factory torque readings for the more typical car building components. So I thought it would be a good project to put together a group (for ever year or two) of these handy/quick guides in the library.

To that end I don't have access to every year and volume of these. I also thought  many of you would like to help out so here is the request

If you have access to a 65 and or a 66 Shop Manual please look up the following fill in the needed info. Please specify if your listing 65 or 66 ratings and if including engine torque ratings engine size since a 6 cylinder will be different from a V8 for example. Some of the following items will not apply - just ignore them - its a generic list for across the classic period ;)

Thanks for the help - once collected I'll assemble and post for the benefit of all members

Some torque specs from the 65 shop manual.

Make sure your torque wrench is calibrated  ;)

Jeff,
 Here's a link to some generic torque tables that I've used for many years, not all sizes are in the Ford manuals and other hardware applications need to be torqued.

And there's more -
