I couldn't find a sequence chart specifically for a 429, but the one I have here for the 332-428 at the bottom of the page is the same sequence. Start at #1, tighten to 75 ft./lbs., go to #2, 75 ft./lbs. and so on through #10. Then go back to #1 and tighten to 105 ft./lbs., then #2 to 105 ft./lbs and so on through #10. Then go back to #1 and tighten to 140 ft./lbs., then #2 to 140 ft./lbs. and so on through #10.

76GMC1500 makes a good point also about detonation. Make sure the motor isn't detonating on the fuel you're using or it'll continue to spit gaskets out.Last edited by techinspector1; 02-08-2006 at 09:24 AM.

Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
