Hello, I have a 98 F150 Triton, 5.4L V8. I could use some help with a diagram of the top of the engine showing some of the tubing etc. and I would like to ask what the torque spec is on the Alternator bolts.

On the alternator bolts I always just use the German torque specs, Good-n-tight.

No but I'll give that a try.

Ya there's a toque spec chart online somewhere. Very comprehensive.

Good searching.

And honestly, I don't use a torque wrench on ALT bolts. It's not a bad idea tho. The most important thing to remember when reinstalling the ALT is to wire wheel down the mating surfaces , ALT to Block. For this location is absolute ground.

Ok, hope I can get these posted.

...Perfecto! Good job, everything is right on top.

EDIT: Almost lol, - your connections are all good but the top emission hose/ top of throttle body elbow needs to be turned about 80* and re-routed. It's suppose to be over and above your smaller (1/8") emission harness lines. Currently your main vac line (Black) and your regulator (FPR line red) is pinning it down at the top of the hose bumper. Just disconnect the black and red at the center port of the throttle body elbow. The grab that green elbow and turn it so that the hose is pointing upward. (It's suppose to be that way so you don't get condensation build up in the hose), then reconnect the emission harness boot to the center port in the TB elbow. It'll be correct then. + ...
