Padgett:

Does this mean you just read my response to you of a couple 
of weeks ago?  :)

Please note that since I wrote that final description of my 
installation of the HD motor mount and commented on the 
1965-1966 discrepancy, I also looked in the 1966 factory 
build manual.  It lists 30 lb-ft also.
