Les' book says 20 ft. Pounds. Is that correct. Seems a little heavy for such small bolts.

It should be treated the same as a pan gasket.
i think were talking inch pounds here and not FT.
That’s another one for the error list3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

Use a short handle box wrench, and just tighten the bolt. Ford did not use torque specs. There was a different wrench for each application, and the handle was sized to match how tight the fastener should be. That is why the rod nuts are 21/32". Special wrench for each job. Common sense is the key factor here.
