At annual, the mechanic recommended that I replace the fuel pump  
screen with one in better condition.  Vern Gregory found one for me  
at the "Ercoupe Boneyard."  Vern also warned that when reassembling,  
the correct torque of the bolt on top is very important.  Would  
someone please tell me where I should look to find answers like the  
correct torque of the bolt on top?  I once would have left it to the  
mechanics to figure this out, but I have found that I need to learn  
enough to say what I want specifically, and to double-check work.  So  
I would like to know "where to find the answer" at least as much as I  
need the answer itself.

Also, is a new gasket required when the fuel pump is opened to change  
out the screen?  Serial # is 4062.  Thanks, everyone!
