Does anyone know the torque for the cylinder head ?. My manual just says tighten in a certain order. Also., I want to verify that + and - on the coil.Which one goes to the distributor and which one goes to the ignition switch?

If you are using old head-bolts, I suggest 50 lbs. If you purchase and use new head-bolts you can go to 60-65 lbs.

The + post on the coil goes to the ignition switch, the - post goes to the distributor. If you are using an external condenser it will also go to this terminal.

Note if you do happen to be buying new head bolts that they are 1/2 inch x 12 threads per inch rather than the now more common (in the US) 1/2 inch x 13 TPI.
