Ma Mopar says 40 ft lbs on the intake bolts but I'm pretty sure that was for a cast iron intake. Edlebrock recommends 25. I have an original 69 1/2 edlebrock 6 bbl intake. What do you guys recommend on the torque for this piece? I can't find anything from mopar on what they torqued the aluminum piece at.

I'd go with Edlebrock's specs. Or just go to a little more than snug with a 3/8 ratchet.

On an alum intake the torque sequence is just as important as the torque spec. Always start in the center and work your way outward.
