jps Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I installed a new junction box in my model A. To do that required removal of the armored cable that runs between ignition switch and distributor. That requires loosing one head nut to remove the cable clamp. Once i got that done, i had to use a distributor puller to get the disty out, which in turn required two more head nuts to be removed. After all that was done I reinstalled the disty and re-torqued the 3 head nuts that were removed back to 55 ft-lbs. Now I am wondering if that is Ok ... Should i be re-torquing all the head nuts in sequence? Or is loosening just 3 nuts and retightening them OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jps Posted July 21, 2023 Author Share Posted July 21, 2023 To clarify what I did, each head nut was loosened only long enough to do the immediate task, then they were retightened. None of them were untightened for more than about 30 minutes (pulling the distributor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 While the wrench is close it wouldn't hurt to check the torque on all the bolts in the proper sequence. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
