<VV> Fwd: New fuel lines in engine bay

[FrankDuVal]

Tight enough not to leak or loosen while driving. Very important to 
tighten the "nut" on the carburetor (1" wrench) then hold that "nut" 
with the 1" wrench while tightening the line flare nut into it. If you 
do not hold the "nut", the fuel line will spring back while driving, 
loosening the "nut" and you will have a fuel leak.

With good flare nut wrenches, tighten the nut. The wrench should not 
slip, nor feel like it wants to slip. One good grunt.?

I know that I should be able to spin on all the nuts most of the way by hand,Now, question is, when it comes time to wrench on them, how tight is too tight? BTW  I have the proper wrenches.
