In the sticky helpful posts section is a link for replacing the lower intake manifold for a 99 GMC 4.3L. In the summary section is says to torque the bolts to 35 ft lbs. All the other guides and I saw and the one I used says 132 inch lbs which I thought equals 11 ft lbs. Is the GMC 4.3L different? Just having one of those "Did I screw up" moments.

- Apply thread locking compound to manifold bolts.
- Install manifold and tighten bolts to 35 ft-lbs, in proper sequence.
- Install distributor.
- Install upper intake manifold.

If you don't snap off a bolt, you will most certainly over compress the gasket, compromising its integrity.
