30 ft pounds.

Your car but why remove smog pump? I have a 1976 and when I originally got it there wasn't any emissions equipment on it. I put all of the emissions equipment on so that the government here couldn't fine me. No noticeable change in performance. The smog pump simply puts air into the exhaust system to help burn off emissions.

I think the engine bay would look better without.... the 30lbs on intake; do you know the tightening sequence?
