Help me set a torque wrench?

Hello,

Does anyone know how to set a in-lb torque wrench that has the following numbers going down:

960
840
720
600
480
360
240
120

and it has a dial that consists of

0 8 6 4 2 0 8 6 4 2

I am installating the Motordyne Plenum Spacer and the required torque is 100 in-lbs. How do I set it properly?

I also tried torquing a few bolts and I do not hear any clicking noise or anything even when the bolt got really tight.

Sorry, I have never used a torque wrench. Google does not help either, and I couldn't search a topic that had instructions on this specific wrench. Thank you!

Johnny

You need a new torque wrench, the lowest the setting on the one you have is 120 in-lbs, and the to install the spacer you NEED to have a range of 40 in-lbs to 100 in-lbs. If you try to use the one you have now you will snap the bolt in half.

Here watch this, they use Newton Meters, but its the same concept.
