What specifically are you looking for? I’m sure there is a torque spec, along with the usual clearance and other checks.

i was looking for part no and size of bolts and hardware. Also torque spec

i was unable to find it.

thanks

The torque spec is in the torque table at the end of chapter 6B in the CSM.

thanks Joe and Noel . is there a reference or picture of part no. and are the tabs reguired

thanks

joe_padavano

The tabs are just locks to prevent the bolts from loosening up. I hate them. I personally never reinstall them. I'd rather just check the bolt torque periodically.

servexcell

Do they prevent the bolts from getting loose

i am very surprised there is no refernce in Assemby Manuel

Should work on all small block Oldsmobile, these are stainless steel, Inline also sell steel ones for less.

From my previous post:


The PIM (Assembly Manual) encompasses the assembly operations performed on the assembly line. The manifolds come already bolted to the engine. You need the engine assembly manual for that information. The PIM doesn't have any info on how to assemble the transmission or rear axle, either.

Joe where can i find that manual ?

thanks

joe_padavano

I have one for 1969 that I got as part of the PIM reprints sold by Paul Sigmund. They are few and far between. I have not seen a 68 engine assembly manual.

servexcell

Joe would you be able to send the the page for exhaust manifolds

thanks Bruce

I just looked through my 69 Assembly Manuel and found a pink section all related to engine. I purchased this also through Paul Sigmund . Thanks for the help.
