Re: '70 LT1 intake manifold bolt torque

Thanks Joe. Concerning the extension, I went to the link that Wayne posted and I think I understand wher the extension confusion comes from.

From the picture it appears that the extension in question is horizonal to the handle of the torque wrench. In that case one would need to compensate. But in the case where the extension is perpendicular to the handle you wouldn't need to modify the torque. does that sound right?

Yes, you've got it correct. However, I do not call the "horizontal" tools "extensions". I refer to them as crowfoot wrenches (if open end) or torque adapters (if box end).

Thanks, Joe. Being new to torque wrenches, I don't yet know the proper terminology.
