And I still have that carb available if you're interested!

Yep, definitely not the first person to mistakenly over-torque something. The lessons we learn the hard way are the ones that stick.

The early versions of the Ferrari 360 Work Shop Manual called for the oil drain plug to be torqued to 75 NM (which is 55 lb-lbs), far to high. How fun would that fix be!

I may take you up on that. I am trying to keep it stock and found a NOS (new old stock - not nitrous ) with the exact part casting. However it was damaged badly in shipping and I'm still trying to figure out if it's repairable.

I've also been distracted recently by yet another 'barn find' type car (a 99' Firebird WS6 that had been sitting for 5 years) I acquired on the cheap. We've been able to get that one up and running - just have the front suspension and brake master cylinder/flush + tires to wrap up before it's back to being a daily driver (not withstanding some other minor nuisances like window regulator motors, one side door pin hinge, speaker/radio repair, and ancient window tint). Parts have been pretty affordable - but the labor and diag/fixes are likely why it was parked.

Start a rule 1/build thread on that WS6!
