Off the top of me head, I think they are something like 13 lb ft. Word of advice though, get yourself a Helms manual. You'll tell yourself you should have bought one a long time ago.

There is a HUGE difference between a Haynes and a Helms manual. The Haynes may give you the basic run down, but the Helms is a 3 book set with thousands and thousands of pages of info. Some of the best money I ever spent IMO.
