Browsing an old service manual and the torque spec for a 6.9L injector line nut was way lower than I guessed
Found it in a dog-eared Ford binder from '84, says 18 ft-lbs. I've been cranking them way tighter for ages. Anyone else get tripped up by an old spec like that?

My buddy rebuilt his old 7.3 and snapped a line because his modern torque wrench was set for something else. Those old numbers really sneak up on you.

That's a perfect example of how old specs don't translate, @noahs37. It happens with everything from recipes to software settings. People forget the old rules were made for different tools.

My grandpa's old bread recipe never works with new flour.
