Can somone tell me the correct way to tighten my edelbrock intake?

I just want to make sure it did not loosen up over the summer, I don't have a torque wrench.

you need to find a torque wrench...and double check them in the correct sequence. i guess you can trow a ratchet on there and you shouldnt be able to move the bolt with any sort of ease, but if you try this, turn it like you're tightening it not loosening. man i stripped the carb holes in mine last night...so i get to change my intake in a little while. Im just sending the stripped one back as a defect...the benefits of working in auot parts
