[Daniel McCurdy]

whats the torque spec on the fitting that screws into the pump itself.

I don't think anybody toques those as you'd have to use a crows foot and math I've done 3 ford high pressure lines now just tightening it by hand and have had no issues

My Chilton manual for Econoline vans (up to 1988) says 25 ft lbs for the pressure line for both "Saginaw type" and "Ford type" pumps. I couldn't find a spec in my F-series Haynes manual.

I just best guessed when I did the Saginaw pump in my RV though and it's been fine for over a year.

Step 1: Get it "good and tight" without cross threading it. If it doesn't leak, you know your good. If it does leak, repeat step 1.
