in-lbs to ft-lbs? If something is supposed to be torqued down in "in-lbs" and all I have is a "ft-lbs" torque wrench, is there a way to convert in-lbs to ft-lbs?

Serioulsy though, a ft lb torque wrench will usually over torque the bolt. It would be a good investment to purchase a small 3/8" drive, or 1/4" drive in/lb one...

Sell yours and get a Snap On digital, its very accurate and you can adjust for those LOW settings. Ebay has teh in-lb wrenches for pretty cheap.
