    Re- torque head bolts?

    Torque spec for head bolts is only 225 In Lbs, or 18.75 Ft Lbs......so they are not really that tight. Main thing is to follow the correct sequence when torqueing them down....and do it in several steps. Do all at like half torque, then 3/4, then full torque.

    fuel hose question

    The Chrysler/Force style fuel fittings are still available if you ever need them.....

    Chrysler 75hp, need direction.

    The air box has a hose that runs to the bottom of the intake behind the bottom carb......some fuel gets spit out the front of the carbs during operation, runs down to the bottom of the air box and is routed to the intake by that hose to be run through again......
