wow that is one big torque wrench. Looks expensive too. I did my the "not correct" way. I had a 400 ft/lb impact gun. Torque should be around 300 to 400... So i just tightened the nut until it didn't move from the impact gun...
Would've killed for that torque wrench...

The torque wrench made quick work of a usually difficult job. I have bud that has drilling rigs and he has all the huge tools you can shake a stick at.
The motor is the car and almost all is hooked back up. I stop because I had bad U-joints........how is that part of it all?
I had bad u-joints and I had bought the replacement ones in August. I didn't get around to switching the u-joints until this weekend........while the exhaust was already off. I figured why put the exhaust on if you need to take it off in the next few weeks. Anyway, I got the drive shaft out and hammered the u-joints out then started trying to put the new ones in. problem is that the guys at Rockford sent me the wrong size u-joints. (if you get some make sure you get the #430-10A) So now I am waiting for the next four days to go by and the new joints get here. So without the drive shaft in, no exhaust is going in and the motor is not going to get started.
I'll post more pics tomorrow
