I don't have a specific torque spec for a starter mounting bolt (but I'm in
Canada right now on business) however you can look at the included chart and go
by the bolt size, grade and lubricant type to find the proper torque. Eh.

The answer to your original question...
Measure your manifold vacuum from the lowest point on the carburetor or
anywhere in the intake manifold. A healthy engine should read a steady
needle from 15 to 22 in/Hg - subtract 1 in/Hg per every 1000 ft above
sea level. Long duration cams and late igni
