Chris, thanks for your reply.  Could you tell me what manual you have and the section and page you found the flywheel torque spec?

A different question -- to put the oil pump on so that the distributor will be timed right, I need to get to the TDC mark on the flywheel with #1 cylinder on the compression stroke.  Do I need the head on to determine the compression stroke?  Thanks for all your help.

Tom
