 Are you possibly thinking of foot pounds when you say 72 inch pounds is
way
 more than finger tight?
 I rebuild Torque Flites and have used a inch pound torque wrench on
bands.
 It is not much pressure. When adjusting a band all you are doing when
tighten
 is taking out the slack. Then when you back off the 2 5/8 turns,( or 
 whatever is
 prescribed for a particular model) provides the proper free play when the

 band is
 disengaged from the clutch retainer hub.
 I would certainly agree if you have a INCH pound torque wrench, buy all 
 means use it.
 
 My 2 cents.

 I think you're reasoning is a bit flawed.  72 inch pounds is certainly
WAY, 
WAY more than finger tight.  288 pounds at the circumference of a 1/2"
bolt, 
to be exact. Only possible with bionic fingers.

Hey gang:
Here's a problem that has been occurring on my H.

Back in December I went to a cruise-in.  After being there about 3 hours I

got in the car to leave.  The car just cranked and cranked.  There was no
gas 
going to the carbs.  So I added a few ounces to the rear carb and the car 
fired right up.  I filled it up right after that and it only took 16
gallons 
so I figured there was something wrong with the fuel pump.  I had it
rebuilt 
and installed it in Jan.

Friday I went to to crank up the car for another cruise-in.  The same
thing 
happenned.  It just cranked and cranked.  Again there was no gas in the 
carbs.  I added a couple of ounces of gas again and it started right up.
I 
again filled it up and this time it only took 9 gallons on gas.  

Has anyone run into anything like this before?  Has the fuel pump taken a 
dump again?  Any and all suggestions would really be appreciated.

Mike Meyer
