Can't find the torque spec for my Carter AVS carb to manifold bolts. It's 340 with a 4 barrel AVS carb.
Anyone can help me out would be great.

This is from Edelbrock's web site regarding installing their version of an AVS.  " Hand tighten with a short box end wrench,
alternating between diagonally opposed nuts.
CAUTION: Overtightening may break carb base and void
warranty."  Hope that helps.  :cheers:

You have no idea how many broken carb bases I have seen from overtightening , just snug them & use a thin gasket

I measured the bolt and torqued them. Thick bolts, but it wasn't a lot of torque. Sorry, don't recall.
