Does anyone have a torque spec sheet?
Someone posted a torque spec sheet for C5's, and I have a lot of little questions as I put some of my parts back on. Wonder if anyone has a torque spec sheet for C3, small block? (and the rest of the car). I did a search and found lots of individual questions and answers, but didn't see an overall sheet.
Thanks

Never saw one for a C3 but this is good.
Here is a chart that is universal.

Torque is determined by size and class and not application 99.99% the time.
For example:
Chart show 7/16" Grade 8 @ 78#
Chevy service manual shows 80#
That is for a main cap bolt, one of the most critical torques on the car.
