Ed de Chazal, I have an excel spread sheet with all of the torque values that I printed and stuck on the ceiling of my garage. it is for fine and coarse threads, steel and aluminum tubing and spark plugs. it from the FAA's book "acceptable practices" - it's even in color. I would be glad to post it to Marv if you or anyone needs it. you can get a free excel read/print program at Microsoft's site (www.microsoft.com) if you don't have excel. good luck, Scott
