Does anyone know if the mounting bolts for the CFI manifold plate need to be torqued in the sequence as the manifold bolts?

yes they do. I don't think any manual mentions it but you work in a circular motion just like you do with cylinder heads. Just follow the spiral, starting with the TB studs on the outside.

Thanks for checking and posting answers on our forum Marck, I was going to ask you this question in IM.

You beat me to it.

I once made a small image with numbers for a proper sequence, there are other ways of doing it but this is the way I used to and it gives good results. It's somewhere on the CFI Vault but I can't find it LOL

a general rule of thumb for torquing is to torque from the center out

I torqued manifold plate bolts from the center out & it worked! I replaced all gaskets involving the CFI & rebuilt the throttle-bodies while I was at it. It took several different kits to get all that was needed. I have some duplicate pieces left over. If anyone might be interested, let me know & I'll make a list & get some pictures of them.
