Torque specs-89L98-Intake manifold???
Does someone have them available.Don't want to trust Haynes on this
one. They did not seem very tight upon teardown and I want it to seal
properly........Who wouldn't??? I will also be using the black rtv for the
ends. Thanks,
Matt

Well, seeing as how Haynes listed different sequences corresponding to the different manifolds, I assumed they got it right. Had no problems so far.
If you number the bolts in the same manner as the spark plugs, go as follows for '85-91. I do agree, it does seem fishy do do one whole side, before tightening the other.
3, 1, 5, 7, 9, 11, 4, 2, 6, 8, 10, 12

The '88 Corvette GM Shop Manual states for the intake base:
torque=35 ft-lbs,
snugging sequence=4,3,9,10,11,12;
tightening sequence=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12.
-7--8-------9--10----11--12
-O--O------O--O------O--O-

-O--O------O--O------O--O-
-1--2-------3--4-------5--6-
