1965 Olds Rochester Carb Bolts Torque

I am replacing the carb to intake gasket on my 330 engine. Any specific torque requirements or advice for reinstalling the four bolts.

The torque specs are on page 3-93 of your 1965 Chassis Service Manual.

Does the torque recommendation say whether the bolts are lubed or dry?

Dry. Frankly most of us don't use a torque wrench on those bolts. Just tighten by hand with a 1/4 drive.

And not much chance of warping the base since it is steel.

Cast iron actually, but point taken.
