i wouldn't use loctite on any of the bolts. i would use liquid teflon on the intake bolts. i never use a torque wrench on intakes or carbs. your manual ought to have the specs if you feel you need to use a torque wrench. the choke wire should go to a fused switched hot wire. do you know you need to change to a non ecm controlled hei distributor too? are you also doing that?
