[DeTomaso] Carb questions

[SOBill at aol.com]

Carbs hold down nuts/bolts need only slightly more than finger  tight.
 
The only time the bolts are need is when the engine isn't running.  The rest 
of the time, manifold vacuum holds the carb down such that Godzilla  couldn't 
pull it off.
 
If you over tighten the mounting you will likely warp the carb base  plate so 
the throttle plates will want to stick or carb mounting ears will  break off.
