1967 C2 Brake Line Torque Specs in AIM

[Tom D.]

On the Assembly Instructions (AIM) page showing only brake lines and fittings, there is a what I see as a torque spec. or "footnote" number 7. This is at the lower left of the drawing for rear brake lines, 1967 Corvette.

On the drawing, the 7 (inside a triangle) points to the connection of the flexible hose into the line connection block attached at the tab on the frame.

How could that be torqued to 100-125 LBS.IN? Wouldn't that be excessive torque?

Tom, 125 LBS IN is INCH pounds, not foot pounds. Converted, that would be around 10 foot pounds.
